There’s a rail trail that starts at the Fisher Cats stadium, goes over 293, out to the West Side Arena then out to Goffstown. Been a couple years since I’ve ran that trail, but it was pretty well-paved. Might be covered in snow/ice at this time of year, but it’s really nice especially in the spring and fall.

We actually have that in Hooksett now! It really helps take the guess-work out of when the bus is going to show up, especially if you need to be out there if you have younger kids. For kids in 5th grade (I think) and lower, the bus driver won't let the kids off the bus unless a known parent is there.
