Franklin & Bellingham Rail Trail Committee - Annual Report for 2021
"Another year with COVID-19 behind us. Benefits of outdoor recreation during these unprecedented times are bringing many people to the SNETT rail trail.
We have seen many different uses of the trail throughout the year, such as walking, running, hiking, biking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, dog walking, strolling with strollers, younger kids riding their scooters or tricycles, nature watching and nature photography.
We love to see everyone enjoying the trail! "
