With no hills and valleys, no ups and downs, why, even your great great grandma and great great grandpa could go do the WOW Trail together in their wheel chair and ambulatory care walker .... which unlike a motorcycle......have no engine ..... hut-hut-hut ...... let's move it out - it's time to be ambulat'n .....Grandpa!

Trail wouldn't be a plus for the shore front owners who would be staring at a chain link fence.....also, on the Meredith link, there is a lot of woodlands behind the tracks and all of the wild life would be cut off from the water. The Laconia Lakeport end is fine because of the dense population but north of Lakeport is a bad idea.
BTW we are dues paying Rails to Trails members and bike often....not too much in this area but mostly in the south on vacation.
