Grater trail
11 reviews
 3.73 of 5

A very wide range of terrain and difficulty. From rolling powerline trails to two monster climbs ( Grater Hill and Suicide Hill ), there's something to challenege everyone. Terrain is usually very damp and sofy until June. Semi-slicks should be used with caution, the woods are very dense here and as a result, there are tons of leaves on the trail floor. If attempting to climb Suicide Hill, use something with descent tread, the soil is very loose there. Hope to see you on the trail!

Summary:
Actually I've ridden here twice. Both times were rather mediocre. All of the trails were widened/marred by ATV traffic. I couldn't find a single decent piece of singletrack in there, anywhere.. I'll admit, I may have missed this famous "Millipede" everyone is so crazy about, but we rode around in there for a couple of hours each time without finding it. If there is a rider out there who knows how to access this singletrack, and can give me detailed instructions on how to find it, send me an email at matthew_borsa@hotmail.com. Until then, I have to give this trail 2 chilis...

Recommended Route:
I can't really recommend any route. They're all overrun by ATV tracks...

Other recommended trails in the same area:
The FOMBA trails are the old standby, of course. And Bear Brook S.P. in Allenstown has a vast network of trails. Pawtuckaway, and of course, Fort Rock in Exeter. Not really in the same area, but Blue Job mountain in Rochester is excellent riding.

Summary:
I finally made my way onto the Millipede. Of course following trail founder, Tom V.,there made navigation easier. It was worth the wait. This trail is first class southern NH single track with the the look and feel of the FOMBA trails in Auburn. More tight twists and turns than a rattler and a seemingly endless supply of climbs and dips. Forget about shifting, middle ring up front and easiest in the rear and leave it there!
Thanks to all of the trail builders, the Millipede is a beauty!

Recommended Route:
Park at the Pond Parish lot. Cross the street and climb to "The Camps". Cross Grater Road and rip down the long hill. Take first left and start to look on the right side of the fire road for the trail entrance about 1/2 mile in.

Summary:
This is a review of the new loop trail just cut by SCNEMBA. The trail is about 1.5-1.8 miles of VERY TWISTY singletrack. I found myself using my lowest cogs with my granny 100% of the ride. This trail is similar to the "spaghetti bowl" in Nashua without the ramps and bridges-there are many 90 degree slow speed turns followed by logs, rocks or short uphill sections. I ended up walking a lot of the sections(it was wet this day, too, which made the logs slick). In all my computer said it took 37 min. from the parking lot, not counting the walking and one endo, so maybe 45-50 min. total. Cleaning a few of these sections gave me a real sense of accomplishment-These folks put in alot of work-give it a try! I may ride it in the other direction next time-seems like it might be more rideable that way!

Recommended Route:
Up Gtrater to gate, go left, take first left,trail is on right about 600'. The exit is about 600'past the entrance, but hard to see, up a short drop.

Summary:
This is a great set of trails! My Dad and I lived about 1 mile from it and we used to ride it once in a while but we never really explored it. I have be there several times this summer and i never get sick of it. There is just so much to choose from that you can ride for hours and the only trail youll ride twice is the entrance trail. And for all you single track extreamist, there a about a mile or 2 of FAST single trake down hill on the right of the parking area. And For all my fellow freeriders, I am planning on making some bridges and apparatuses next summer. Keep riding

Recommended Route:
Same as all the rest

Other recommended trails in the same area:
try the side trails of the lake masasbisic trail

Reviewed by: Cindy , from Amherst

Summary:
These trails are actually right in my backyard and we mountain bike, X-Country Ski and hike them as well. I've seen everything out there from horseback riders to four wheelers.
The trail system has terrain for all levels in my opinion and I have actually ridden the flatter parts (sticking to the main trail all the way) with my toddler in his child seat on my Mtn. Bike. (Ya gotta do what ya gotta do!).

We have also seen a black bear, moose, tons of deer, fisher cats, fox and several coyotes around here. Carry In Carry Out
and Happy Trails! Cindy

Recommended Route:
Same as Above

Other recommended trails in the same area:
The trails across Pond Parish road--these can be reached by the first trail on your right after the Grater Rd. parking area and sticking to the main trail thereafter until you cross Pond Parish road into the small parking lot made for hikers/bikers, etc.
