- 2020-05-22 Pinnacle / Newport Town Forest Trail Map
- Photo Tour of the Pinnacle
- Location: The town forest is located off route 10 just north of the town center behind the Newport high School and Recreation Complex. There are 2 primary access points. The most prominent one being located behind the track at the Recreation Complex but for the person looking to moderate the climb to the top of Pinnacle mountain a second and equally good choice is located at the end of Summer Street in town (take route 11 east out of town and left onto Summer Street roughly across from Coronis Market just after you crest the first hill, drive to the end of the pavement and park on the right).
- Moody Park - Claremont, NH
- Moody Park is part of the Claremont Public Parks system and offers some of the easiest riding our area has to offer and is a great place for people just starting out to spread their wings. That said, it's most notable feature is "Gravity Cavity" which will strike fear in the hearts of any beginner and sure to put a smile on the face of more advanced riders. This feature alone is worth the trip to Moody.

- Cornish Town Forest - Cornish, NH
- Cornish Town Forest is home to no official races but offers some of the most technical and physically challenging terrain our area has to offer.

It is highly recommended to ride the Forest in a group for safety reasons due to the technically demanding nature of the Forest.
- Location: The Cornish Town Forest is located in Cornish, NH adjacent the Claremont town line. Coming from Claremont take rt 12 west heading towards I-91 in VT, make right onto Clay Hill Rd (across from Plains Rd and sign to Amtrak station), left onto Paddy Hollow Rd, and follow Paddy Hollow all the way to the end where you will see the primary parking area on the right.
