LANCASTER — On Thursday, Aug. 17 learn about the Cross New Hampshire Adventure Trail. Call it the xNHAT, for short. This 83-mile, mostly off-road bicycling route stitches together rail trails, dirt roads and backroads for an adventurous bike route across northern New Hampshire. Riders can travel from the Connecticut River in Woodsville to Bethel, Maine through forests and farmlands, alongside rivers, ponds and streams, and partake in the hospitality of the 12 towns along the way.
How was this route created? What makes it an "Adventure"? Where can one find information, maps, bike shops and shuttle services? B&B? Grand Hotel? Glamping? HipCamps? What are the collaborations required to get this route established, maintained and expanded? What is the "North Country Welcomes Bicyclists Program?” Can I walk, run or cross-country ski the xNHAT? Marianne Borowski will answer these questions and more at the Weeks State Park Summer Program “Cross New Hampshire Adventure Trail: It's more than a bike route, it's an adventure.” For more information about the trail visit xnhat.org.
