Rail Trail: Conway Branch Rail Corridor
The Conway Branch Rail Corridor connects the villages of Ossipee to Conway and is in the early stages of being converted into a dedicated non-motorized rail trail network. This exciting project aims to enhance community engagement and promote outdoor recreation for all. Currently, the trail is approved for winter use by snowmobiles, making it a popular destination during the colder months. Learn more about the future of this trail and community efforts at the Friends of Ossipee Rail Trail (FORT) website.
