Steel truss bridge over Warner River, Bagley Field Rail Trail.
The ambitious plan to create a 34 mile long park spanning between New Hampshire's state capital and Lake Sunapee is gradually being realized thanks to the efforts of many volunteers and donors, and lots of small victories along the route. The town of Warner boasts two such victories - the Warner Rail Trail and the Bagley Field Rail Trail, presently separated by a distance of two miles, but work is underway to extend the Bagley trail closer to Warner.
Trailspotting has a guide to all publicly accessible sections of the Concord-Lake Sunapee Rail Trail project linked at the bottom of this page.


Riding the Bagley Field trail through woodland.

We combined our rail trail walk with a return riverside walk on the opposite banks of Warner river, where we were able to pick out an informal path along the river banks between the ball fields of Riverside Park and the covered bridge. This was the best place to enjoy some riverside views, since the rail trail itself doesn't provide as much of a view as we'd like. Also, pick the right day to visit and you could also pay a visit to Warner's New Hampshire Telephone Museum.
Trail Conditions:
Hardpack, finished stone-dust covered trail recommended for all users. There are no changes in trail elevation.
