Nashua River Rail Trail is a little over 12 mile rail trail that goes from Nashua, New Hampshire to Ayer, Massachusetts.
We have ridden bikes and walked on different sections of this trail. The few times we have explored this rail trail we parked on the New Hampshire side, on the Nashua/Hollis line. There are several different parking areas along the trail.
When we recently walked from Nashua down into Massachusetts there was a water and soda vending machine set up along the trail, which I thought was a smart idea by whoever put it up.
The trail goes along residential areas, some had farm animals along the trail. It also goes through towns and by businesses as well as different bodies of water.
Overall, I like the diversity of this trail. You can walk in the woods or in more urban areas. This trail is good for walking, running, bike riding, roller blading and during the winter months snowshoeing and cross country skiing.
