NH Gives 2026
Why donate?
Community support has already helped build two sections of the trail. The next section—the Penacook Rail Trail—will nearly triple the amount of trail already built.
The Penacook Rail Trail
The Penacook Rail Trail is the next major section of the Merrimack River Greenway Trail. This 1.8-mile segment will bring the vision of a continuous trail connecting communities along the Merrimack River one step closer to reality.
