The Cohos Trail is a hiking trail running 162 miles (260 km) through northern New Hampshire in the United States, connecting the northern and southern ends of Coos County. It begins at Notchland, near Crawford Notch State Park, and follows a series of trails to the hamlet of Fabyans, then over Cherry Mountain to the town of Jefferson, over Mount Waumbek, along the Kilkenny Ridge Trail to Stark, through Nash Stream Forest to Dixville Notch, and north to the Connecticut Lakes and finally the Canadian border at the southern edge of Quebec.
In January 2007, the Cohos Trail Association announced that the trail was closing due to lack of funding for maintenance;[1] however, this announcement stirred enough support that the trail will be able to open in 2007. Plans for 2007 include six miles (10 km) of expansion as well as clearing an additional summit.[2]
