This 18 mile trail begins at Cherry Pond, a birdwatchers paradise, and ends in Gorham. The trail goes through the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge and a great spot to view the Presidential Range. The trail passes by the Israel and Moose rivers and is a beautiful North Country gem.

Open for ATV/UTV/TBs use ONLY DURING THE WINTER (with continuous snow cover).
