About this experience

Enjoy a peaceful ride along New Hampshire’s scenic Greenway on this guided rail trail tour. Pedal through quiet neighborhoods and tranquil natural landscapes as you follow a former railroad corridor known for its flat, easy riding and relaxing atmosphere.

Led by an expert guide, you’ll ride approximately 14–20 miles along the picturesque crushed-stone trail, passing wetlands, bogs, and wide-open clearings. This tour offers a refreshing way to experience the outdoors while still taking in the pristine Portsmouth, Rye, and North Hampton. Along the way, your guide will pause to point out wildlife and local points of interest, including the Hampton Air Field.

The ride is mostly flat, making it ideal for travelers looking for a calm, nature-focused experience rather than a strenuous workout. The tour lasts approximately 2.5 hours, including stops. Arrive 30 minutes before your departure time. Meet your guide, pick up your bike and helmet. We’ll review bike safety and rules of the road.
