The NET includes a somewhat rerouted MMM trail and a route to Long Island Sound, but not the 3M portion in New Hampshire. Northbound, a 2M and then a Monadnock Sunapee Greenway Trail continue 66 miles into New Hampshire. Another trail continues further north, the Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge Greenway Trail, with a 75-mile loop to Mount Kearsarge, Ragged Mountain, Bog Mountain and back to Mount Sunapee. The Robert Frost Trail crosses the New England Trail in Massachusetts a few times.
The 170 mile Cohos Trail runs from Crawford Notch on the Appalachian Trail in the White Mountain National Forest north through the Great North Woods to the Canadian border at Pittsburg, NH. One can continue on Sentier Frontalier’s trails to Mount Megantic or Mount Gosford in Quebec, Canada.
