(Concord, NH) The New Hampshire Division of Parks and Recreation’s
Bureau of Trails, reports that construction of a new trail for
snowmobiles and ATVs will begin this week in the northeast corner of the
Gorham Town Forest. The trail was approved by the Town of Gorham
earlier this summer. The project is part of a snowmobile trail
improvement as well as an ATV loop opportunity into Gorham. The trail
construction is to improve a 900’ section of former skid trail to an
improved trail surface for year-round use.
As part of this
trail project the Bureau has designated 0.6 miles of the Presidential
Rail Trail for summer ATV use; from the Route 2 parking area east over
the high trestle to the rail corridor owned by Brookfield Power to
provide access to the new trail. The 0.6 mile designation has been
modified from the original proposal due to concerns raised at a public
meeting in 2010. This modification was supported unanimously by the
Gorham Selectboard at a noticed meeting in June.
The Bureau
anticipates construction of the improved trail, and signing upgrades on
the recreational rail trail to be completed by early November.
