THANK YOU!
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated to help us raise $102,000 for the
final phase of expansion of the New Boston Rail Trail!
Construction will begin in Spring 2021 with hopes of a ribbon cutting event in October.
PHASE I - COMPLETED
In 2017, New Boston completed 1.5 miles of uninterrupted, non-motorized, pedestrian recreational trail starting at the Hillsborough County Youth Center and leading to Lang Station on Greg Mill Road, following alongside the Piscataguog River.
