The Potanipo Rail Trail is owned and maintained by the Town of Brookline, subject to a conservation easement held by the Piscataquog Land Conservancy. In 2017 the town and PLC worked together to place the easement on the existing and well-used Potanipo trail as well as two parcels located to the east of the rail trail that front the Nissitissit River. The rail trail is approximately one mile long and offers scenic river views and launch sites for a canoe or kayak. The Town of Brookline allows biking on the trail. Contact the Brookline NH Conservation Commission for questions on other allowable uses.
