GORHAM — The state Bureau of Trails is using an excavator to fix drainage and washout issues on the Presidential Rail Trail, starting just west of Jimtown Road.
This stretch of the 18-mile Presidential Rail Trail is also a segment of the Cross NH Adventure Trail (known as the xNHAT), an 83-mile bicycle route through 11 towns from the Maine border to the Vermont border, cobbled together three years ago by an energetic retiree, Marianne Borowski of Glen.
