We've built the first complete rail trail map of New England to help you plan your next outdoor adventure. Not only do we show all navigable rail trails, but we also show them in context with today's live rail network and also the long-gone routes of history. Our road biking and trail access connections also help with bicycle touring routes.

Beyond this map we also have individual rail trail reviews. These trail reviews include photography and even more detailed maps that show trail surface conditions and points of interest along the route.

Explore Responsibly

Please be mindful that trail conditions can vary significantly from smooth asphalt paving to unimproved rough surfaces. Check our individual trail reviews for more information. Walking along any existing railroad track is dangerous and also illegal, including track that you may think is inactive. Please stay on the trail, as many rail trail segments cross private property; and always be respectful of 'No Trespassing' signs posted by landowners.
