The Strafford Trail System consists of 15 miles of trails described here in 7 maps. Most of the trails are made possible by private land owners who host the sections of the trail passing over their property. Landowners have agreed to allow human powered traffic on their trails which includes foot, snowshoe, skis, and bicycle though the trails are not wheel friendly or conducive to anything but foot traffic. No motor vehicles please unless specifically permitted as in the few sections that follow VAST trails.
The trail system is a resource of the Town of Strafford and is managed by the Strafford Conservation Commission.
Two major trails running North-South are the Town House Trail and the Cross Town Trail.
The Town House Trail runs from the village of Strafford near the Town House to the highest point on Rt 132 on O'neill Road and is represented in 2 maps.
