You’ll find Rail-Trails: New England to be a useful and fun guide to your favorite trails, as well as an introduction to pathways you have yet to travel. For readers who are discovering, for the first time, the adventures you can have on a rail-trail, thank you for joining the rail-trail movement. Since 1986, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy has been the No. 1 supporter and defender of these priceless public corridors. We are excited to bring you Rail-Trails: New England so you, too, can enjoy this region’s rail-trails. Built on unused, former railroad corridors, these hiking and biking trails are an ideal way to connect with your community, with nature, and with your friends and family. I’ve found that rail-trails have a way of bringing people together, and as you’ll see from this book, there are opportunities in every state you visit to get on a trail. Whether you’re looking for a place to exercise, explore, commute, or play—there is a rail- trail in this book for you. So I invite you to sit back, relax, pick a trail that piques your interest —and then get out, get active, and have some fun. I’ll be out on the trails, too, so be sure to wave as you go by. Happy Trails, Keith Laughlin President, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy
