SaveLocated in Gorham, NH, the non-motorized Coös Trails network is open to mountain bikes, trail runners, and hikers. In the winter, select trails are groomed for fat biking and many trails in Moose Brook are popular for snowshoeing and xc ski tours.
The 30+ mile Coös Trails network is incredibly diverse and offers something for everyone. There are three distinct areas of the network that can all be linked together via trail or multi-use corridors. Each area has its own unique character.
Pineside
The most popular trails for mountain biking are located in the area between the town of Gorham and Pine Mountain, locally known as the "Pineside" trails. A mix of hand and machine built trails, these are purpose built for mountain biking and offer everything from scenic flowy "downcountry" on For Pete's Sake to grin inducing black diamond descents on Howie Roll or Baggage Claim . There are great trails here for young and beginner riders, too, with Pumphouse in particular being a universal favorite among any level of rider. The best access point for this area of the network is the Presidential Rail Trail parking lot on Rt. 2, with Big Day Brewing parking lot being an additional option if you're looking specifically for the more advanced downhill trails.
Moose Brook State Park
North of the Presidential Rail Trail, The Moose Brook State Park portion of the network features old school New England singletrack. Back to your roots, literally Moose Brook trails feature roots and rock gardens, and are more on the XC tech spectrum of mountain bike trails. That being said there are some great downhill runs as well (Perimeter and Upper Borderline, especially). Perkins Path is one of the most technically challenging trails in the network and also one of the most beautiful. The State Park has its own day use parking area, or you can park at the Rail Trail parking area and ride over from there.
"Pineside" trails and Moose Brook State Park trails can easily be linked together via access on the Presidential Rail Trail and the Hinchey Trail connector.
Power Island
The third area of the network is Power Island which is accessed via the historic rail trestle. You can ride over it on the rail trail (shared with ATVs in the summer) or under it (parking on northbound side of Rt. 16). This area features only two trails, but dries quickly in the spring and is another good option for beginners. You can also ride up to the incredible Mascot Pond from here with a bit of hike a bike on the Mahoosuc trail or ride along the Androscoggin river on Hogan Road (a section of the Cross New Hampshire Adventure Trail) for a great gravel bike outing.
