Description
The Goffstown Rail Trail travels from the border of Manchester through Goffstown. It's primarily a wide gravel trail. It's multi use and you'll find walkers, bikers, runners and maybe even cross country skiers enjoying it. There are multiple parking areas along the trail. It does have several busy road crossings which may be assisted by lights to stop the cars but still exercise caution. If you start from the western end of the trail note that it does travel along a low-traffic public road for about 0.3 miles.
