Cheney Rail Trail Trailhead

Highlight • Trail

One of several trailheads for the Cheney Rail Trail. The path is built on an old railroad bed and runs for 2.5 miles through central Manchester. The surface is a mix of pavement and hard packed gravel, so if you have wider tires on your road bike and are looking for a bit more adventure, this is a good path to try.
