I live in NH so right now walking in the woods with a big black dog is not the best idea. This trail is only a couple of miles from my house so decided to try it out. It is not a solitary walk in the woods but the few people we ran into were nice. Everyone showed proper dog etiquette. The bikes didn’t bother the dog. The only spoil was some guy got off his bike, took the 2 pairs of shoes he bought, put them in his back pack and left the bags and boxes by side of trail. Some people spoil everything. I picked them up.
