Cross NH Adventure Trail
The Cross New Hampshire Adventure Trail (xNHAT) is an 83-mile multi-use pathway traversing northern New Hampshire from Woodsville to Bethel, Maine. This scenic route combines rail trails, dirt roads, bike paths, and tranquil paved backroads, offering a diverse experience for cyclists, hikers, runners, skiers, horseback riders, and more. Along the journey, adventurers can enjoy river valleys, wetlands, and the picturesque northern White Mountains region. The trail is best suited for gravel or mountain bikes due to varying surfaces, including hard-packed gravel and grassy single tracks. Recent restoration efforts have improved sections like the Presidential Rail Trail, enhancing water management and trail conditions. Whether you’re seeking a day trip or a multi-day excursion, xNHAT provides a unique opportunity to explore New Hampshire’s natural beauty across all seasons.
