Whistle Stop Rail Trail


Lace up!
  Here we have the Whistle Stop, 13 miles from North Jay to Farmington.  There is one whole bunch to see while on this trail; everything from a granite quarry to beaver habitat.  In this hilly environment a rail trail is the most level way to go, slight inclines and downgrades are helpful, unless you're a rock climber.
  The trail is sandy, watch out for mud season, more suited to walking than a bicycle.  There are several bridges and trestles that have been re-decked by local snowmobile clubs.
Back in the day the North Jay Quarry kept the tracks busy.
