Lakes Region trail system
Filed under Uncategorized by andrew wolfe at 2:50 pm
I had never heard of the Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge Greenway before today, though it includes two of my favorite snowboard/ski mountains.
The Lakes Region is a bit far to drive just for a casual run, but these trails would make a great daytrip destination. Since I know pretty much zip about it, I'll just pass on the website and press release we got:
