The Friends of the Goffstown Rail Trail has received federal tax exemption under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. That means your contributions can be federal tax deductible! See our membership page for details.

There will be a Manchester City Trails presentation and discussion on Wednesday June 17, 7:00 pm. You can find a press release here. This may be of interest to Goffstown Rail Trail users, as our trail will eventually connect with the Manchester system.

The next trail work day will be on Saturday, June 20th, beginning at 9:00 am. We will be cutting and clearing brush along a middle section of the trail. Meet at the empty lot across from Northpoint Roofing and the State Farm office on Mast Road (map). Bring work gloves and brush cutting tools if you have them.

The next Friends of the Goffstown Rail Trail meeting will be Monday June 29th, 7:00 pm at the Parks & Rec building on Mast Road. (Meetings are held on the last Monday of each month.)

Two new publications are available for your perusal. First, a new trail e-newsletter is available for download here. Second, a significant update to our Frequently Asked Questions page, which you can find here.

Last fall, the first major trail construction projects were completed. These were the Recreational Trails Program projects funded by 2007 and 2008 grants. In addition, a new trail bridge was built by the Friends of the Goffstown Rail Trail, and funded by the Environmental Community Grant Program of PSNH. See photos of the projects here and here.
