NH Seacoast Greenway (NHSG) is a proposed non-motorized, trail from the Massacussetts border connecting with the Coastal Trails, to the Memorial Bridge in Portsmouth, connecting with Maine's Eastern Trail. The New Hampshire Seacoast Greenway will be a leg of the East Coast Greenway, a 3000 mile trail currently being constructed from Key West, FL to Calais, ME. |
| For now, the on-road route, an incredibly scenic route following Route 1A & 1B along the NH coast has been defined as the current NHSG route. It is virtually all on road. Most of this route has a shoulder, but some sections do not. The project Advisory Committee has approved the design of the signage, and they were installed this spring (2008). |
that they are interested in seeing it developed into a rail trail. We also anticipate that as part of a national initiative (backed by several senators and congressmen) this project will be competitive for: Transportation Enhancement Funds, National & State Scenic Byways programs, National Recreational Trails Funding Program. There is also Foundations and Private Funding as possible other options. |
| The proposed Off-Road Trail will follow the old Eastern Rail Road corridor beginning in Seabrook and ending in Portsmouth. The trail from Seabrook to the Post Office in Hampton is in NHDOT hands, but beyond that point it belongs to Guilford Transportation Industries. Hopefully, some day it will end up in the public's hands. |

| Another aspect, is turning a underused asset of rusty rails and old ties into a GREEN TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR. We can give our selfs and the future generations a safe place to meet, and have fun biking, walking or x-country skiing with family and friends. Another facet is to use it as a transportation route to the store, library, or work. |
| Lovers and runners - something for all |
