I doesn't end abruptly after 3 miles but rather continues fairly seamlessly another 4 miles to Lake Potanipo in Brookline (public parking available.) The last few hundred yards of the trail go through Camp Tevya, which requests that you detour onto Route 13 during their season June-August. The first three miles of the trail from Milford are very lovely along a very pleasant brook. The trail crosses route 101 by way of a pedestrian/wildlife underpass. The remaining miles are less interesting until Lake Potanipo is finally reached. A very worthwhile hike; thank you New Hampshire!Gerry KemskeMon, 13 Jul 2009 10:15:59 -0000http://blogs.nashuatelegraph.com/offtrack/2007/08/09/trail-treasure-ii-riding-the-rails/#comment-1923461It's popular (read- crowded) but fun. Try accessing the rail trail at Lake Massabesic in Manchester. You'll find some hard packed riding, cinder and some soft sand. A nice ride. Good cross country skiing in the winter, too, but watch out for the snow machines. Most of the snowmobilers I've encountered are pleasant. Anyway, have fun.DonMon, 20 Aug 2007 05:43:01 -0000
