The Windham Trail Alliance has a trail map and directions to reach the trail. It tells the history of the trail development, the history of the railroad, and gives information about the old depot building which is at the northern end of the trail.
The trail extends 3.7 mi. from the depot to end at Roulston Rd (doesn’t go quite to Rt. 111 at present as shown on the Windham
Trail Alliance map. In the opposite direction it goes about .3 mi to N. Lowell Rd. The southern end of the trail will be extended to the intersection of Rts. 111 and 28 in the fall of 2007 giving a trail length of 4 miles.
A rough
trail continues along the old railroad bed at N. Lowell Rd. Mountain bikes are needed here. It goes about 3 miles to Rt. 102 in Derry. The last 0.9 miles in Derry is paved. The paved part of this trail can be reached in Derry on Rt. 102, Broadway.
The trail is pretty and is shaded on both sides all the way. It follows the railroad bed and at several points there are cuts into the ledge and other points it has been filled high above the surroundings. There are several wetland areas and two ponds making it more interesting. There is a lot of variety for a short
trail.
We rode round trip two times looking for a stone arch bridge which is
shown on the trail map. On the fourth pass we found it. It was hard to see
because of the vegetation. It is about five hundred feet north of the southern end of the trail.
It is a beautiful arch bridge and worth the trip down to it.
