Portions of the Cotton Valley Rail Trail between Wakefield and Wolfeboro are seeing a makeover this summer.
Repairs are being made to a stretch with some rotting decking and washed out patches due to storms while an abandoned building is being renovated so the Cotton Valley Trail Committee which oversees the 12-mile trail can store maintenance equipment.
