Blessed with lovely trails, views and a calm location, Clipper City Rail Trail is one escape into nature amidst the hustling bustling city. Neatly and creatively marked, the trail takes you through the city’s best areas, flaunting well manicured gardens, old structures, and little cottages. The Merrimack River that the trail ends with is the ultimate prize. This area is pet friendly, so don’t hesitate to bring your furry friend along! But, do remember all the basic rules and do clean up after your pet! If you have a few hours free, do indulge in this off beaten activity!
