Patriot Rail’s Granite State Railway announced on May 3 the opening of Lincoln Rail Bikes, a new outdoor rail biking attraction in Lincoln, New Hampshire. This marks the company’s third rail bike experience nationwide and expands its excursion offerings.
The launch of Lincoln Rail Bikes is expected to provide visitors with a unique way to enjoy the scenery of the White Mountains while pedaling custom-built rail bikes along the Pemigewasset River. The company said this initiative combines outdoor recreation, heritage tourism, and family-friendly adventure.
“Adventure seekers are drawn to the White Mountains who enjoy the outdoors, and rail biking is a natural fit,” said Robert Turnauckas, President of Patriot Rail Excursions. “Granite State Rail Bikes gives guests a fresh way to experience this incredible place, pedaling through the landscape, enjoying the fresh air, and making memories along the way.”
Charyl Reardon, President of the White Mountains Attractions Association, also commented on Granite State Railway’s continued role in regional tourism. “The Granite State Railway, formerly the Hobo Railroad, has been an important part of the region for years, and it’s great to see it continue to evolve,” Reardon said. “People have always enjoyed experiencing the White Mountains by rail, and the rail bikes adds a different way to do that… bringing something new while helping strengthen the region’s overall tourism offerings.”
Granite State Rail Bikes aims to contribute economically by attracting tourists and supporting local businesses through this new recreational offering.
Reservations for rides opened May 3 with more information available at gsscenic.com. Patriot Rail Company operates Granite State Railway as one of four excursion lines within its portfolio.
