Hiking in
New England is a wonderful experience any time of the year. Many hikers enjoy hiking in
New England in the winter, and summertime is the time to climb mountains in
New Hampshire, explore the shore in
Maine, and walk a rail trail throughout the region.
Rail trails are a growing trend in areas with abandoned railway right-of-ways. Groups in the area work to turn these right-of-ways into walking trails, and many exist throughout
New England. Some of the trails are paved, making them wheelchair accessible, as well. Hiking in
New England is a wonderful way to explore the area, and rail trails make it easy for everyone!
