Franconia Notch Bike Path

Soaring through the White Mountain National Park on two wheels is the best way to see Franconia Notch State Park. Take the Franconia Notch Recreation Path (aka Bike Path) to cruise the “notch” between New Hampshire’s Kinsman and Franconia mountain ranges. The 9-mile Franconia Notch Bike Path winds past park attractions including the Flume Gorge, Basin, Old Man in the Mountain, Cannon Mountain, and Echo Lake.

Between those points of interest, the Franconia Notch Bike Path meanders along pristine brooks, dense forest, and miles of peaks that ascend upward. The Recreation Path loosely parallels the Franconia Notch Parkway (I-93). The highlight of the ride is cruising the majestic notch between Cannon Mountain and Mount Lafayette.

A day on the Franconia Notch Bike Path is one of the best ways to see Franconia Notch State Park in the White Mountain National Forest.
