Where To Park for the Rail Trail?

Here are some suggested locations for parking when using the Goffstown Rail Trail. They are listed from west to east. Most are also marked on the printable map of the trail and appear in Google maps.

• **WINTER PARKING** With snowcover, these are the parking lots that are reliably plowed in winter: 1) Factory Street Lot, 8 spaces dedicated\signed "Rail Trail Use Only" (15 Factory Street), 2) Goffstown Parks and Recreation Center (155 South Mast Street), or 3) the Public Parking lot at the Hillsborough County Offices (329 Mast Road). See below for more info.
• **Factory Street Parking Lot** There are 8 parking spaces with dedicated and signed "Rail Trail Only" located at 15 Factory Street, next to the Residences at Hadley Falls apartment complex.
• **Goffstown Parks and Recreation Center** (Google map link):
  The trail is located directly in front of the Parks and Recreation Center building, 155 South Mast Street. You can head east or west along the trail. When the Parks & Rec Center building is open, you can use the restroom inside the building.
• **Mast Road Trailhead** (Google map link):
  A parking lot was constructed as part of the [2010 Transportation Enhancement project][2]. On the opposite side of the road are the Villa ball fields, where there is usually a portable toilet during summer months. Heading east from the parking lot, there is a road crossing with a [PHB signal][3].
• **Hillsborough County Offices** (Google map link):
  There is a large public parking lot at the Hillsborough County Offices complex at 329 Mast Road. The rail trail runs behind the buildings and parking lot. Look for the Goffstown Rail Trail sign\kiosk.
• **Danis Park Road** (Google map link):
  There is a small paved parking area on the west side of the road with four parking spaces.
• **Moose Club Park Road Trailhead** (Google map link):
  There is a small paved parking area with four parking spaces on the east side of the road. Look for the Goffstown Rail Trail kiosk. Heading east from here, the trail is finished all the way to the Manchester city line (about 0.6 mile), where the trail directly connects with the Piscataquog (Rail) Trail in Manchester. A little further on, a trail bridge (the "Irving and Bernice Singer Bridge") over the Piscataquog River connects to downtown Manchester.
• **Sarette Recreation Complex** (Google map link):
  This large parking lot can be used to access the rail trail, which lies on the north side of the complex. There is a zig-zag gate that allows pedestrian and bike access to the gravel service road that runs through the ballfield complex. Follow the road to the second zig-zag gate, which exits onto the rail trail (about 0.2 mile).
