Rail Trail News
From Wendy Grossman:
This week the Walpole section of the Cheshire Rail Trail was brush hogged again! The grass and weeds on the trail surface were cut for the benefit of pedestrians, bicyclists, and equestrians who use the 7+ miles of trail between the CITGO/Jiffy Mart in the north and the Westmoreland border in the south.
There is trail access and limited parking at many road crossings along the Rail Trail. Maps are available at walpoleoutdoors.org (the Conservation Commission website) and in Town Hall.
Given the short grass and dry weather, conditions are generally good for exploring the Rail Trail and its many scenic views in Walpole. However, bicyclists and other users should heed the new NH Bureau of Trails CAUTION signs urging bicyclists to walk over the bridge at Malnati Farm. Bicyclists should also be cautious at the bridge north of the Boat Launch WMA.
At the Gateway, walkers can take a side trip to the new Gateway River Ramble trail for outstanding views of the Connecticut River. To reach this trail, walk down from the Gateway kiosk to the boat drop-off area, continue past the cornfield, and bear right to the trail sign.
If you have comments about the Rail Trail, please feel free to contact Wendy Grossman, Chair of the Walpole Trail Committee, at walpoletrailhelpers@gmail.com.
Enjoy the Rail Trail!

Time again, summer almost done, folks shifting in thought to the school year, BUT also time again to send your submissions for the next CLARION — inputs are due for the September issue by 5 pm Walpole Time, a week from now, Friday 22 August. The files will go to the printer Sunday evening, 24 August – so do not miss out. Make sure to visit the CLARION website for contact information, and article and advertising submission details.
Your early submissions help as I start developing the layout well before the closing date. If you have some “news” send it along. I also like to have on-hand material of interest that is not time-sensitive to fill space to round out a pleasing issue. So, if you would “like to be in print” and have something to write and share (images as well), send along for possible inclusion space permitting. Please do remember, it is the advertisers in each issue that make this community publication possible, so please support and thank them.
