Definitely worth a visit: museums, historic buildings, Black Heritage Trail, restaurants, shops, ...

Smelt Brook Preserve is a great place to swing by on a sightseeing ride, as you can lock up the bikes and enjoy the peaceful Riverview Trail. The path navigates through mature forests and has views of the salt marshes and York River.

As you might expect, pedaling through Exeter gets you some great views of the water. This riverside town was originally settled as a shipbuilding center and trading port.

This dam-built reservoir is a nice place for kayaking and fishing, or just a nice sight as you pedal on by.

You can get a great view of Cochecho Falls (often incorrectly spelled as Cocheco Falls) from here. It used to mark the heart of a historic mill complex along the river.

Slow down as you cross over the Maine Street Causeway to take it all in. To the south there are great views of the impressive Piscataqua River Bridge and the Great Cove Boat Club, to the north you can see inland along Spinney Creek.

Portsmouth has a little bit of everything, from riverside gardens, boat docks, historical recreations — and lots of opportunities to grab a snack or do some shopping while downtown.

This is a nice stretch of road along the Maine side of the Piscataqua River, which forms a living border between Maine and New Hampshire. The river eventually streams into Portsmouth Harbor, the only deep-draft harbor in all of New Hampshire.
