Cheshire Rail Trail...A great beginning

Rail Trails are trails that use to be railroad tracks.  This is a great place for those of us with balance issues to start,  The trails are flat with no obstructions.
Started in Troy NH and headed south toward Fitzwilliam. Went about 2 miles and turned around. This was my first Rail Trail. Parts of it went through secluded areas
and parts seemed to go right through people's back yards.
(just like the trains did I suppose)

  So if you're looking for solitude in your hike, these probably aren't the trails to take.  But for getting in walking shape and avoiding sidewalks and main town roads, these are the trails for you.
This was my first but definitely not my last Rail Trail.
