From early May through late October, Granite State Rail Bikes provides unique views of New Hampshire’s spectacular Lakes Region — along railroad tracks that date back to 1848. From your four-seat rail bike, you’ll pedal along tracks that begin at the 1892 Laconia, NH Railroad Station. The 5-mile round trip goes through Belmont Woods; past the site of the former Laconia Car Company, which built rail cars from 1844 to 1928; over a trestle bridge crossing Winnipesaukee River and Durkee Brook; and along the shore of Lake Winnisquam, the state’s fourth largest lake. Enjoy breathtaking views and fresh air, with a rest step halfway through as your experienced guides spin the bikes around for the trip back home. The terrain is mainly flat, and you are able to go at your own pace.
