Another Section Of The Merrimack River Greenway Trail Is Now Open In Concord

CONCORD, NH — Phase 2 of the Merrimack River Greenway Trail on Loudon Road is now open.

Dozens of residents, including city, county, and state officials, bicyclists, walkers, and others, took to the “sunflower section” of the trial after an official ribbing cutting on Friday.

The path runs from 4 Loudon Road to the end of the field. A future boardwalk is planned to connect the trail to Terrill Park.

Here is a video posted when the kiosk was installed at Terrill Park in Concord.

As part of the redesign of Interstate 93, an extension will connect Downtown Concord and parts north, eventually connecting to the Concord-Lake Sunapee Rail Trail and the Northern Rail Trail to Lebanon.

Organizers have been active on the trail for more than 12 years, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars through donations and grants from public and private sources.
