Projects
As of 2026, Pathways for Keene has raised nearly $1,000,000 for trail development for bicyclists, runners, walkers, skiers, snowshoers and other non-motorized forms of recreation and transportation throughout Keene. The funds were also used for kiosks, bike repair stations, pathway lights, and benches, all of which were placed along the trails.
Our current goal is the completion of the Transportation Heritage Trail from Eastern Ave. to Route 101, including the installation of the Prowse Bridge across Route 101 to the Stone Arch Bridge and improvements to the Stone Arch Bridge itself. After completing these pivotal projects, PFK will continue to advocate and fundraise for further expansion of the local trail network and projects related to trail use.

The historical steel bridge will cross Route 101 to the Stone Arch Bridge. Watch 3D rendering video of the full project! Click below to watch video.
In the past, PFK has worked with other organizations to generate grassroots momentum for the development of the pathways system. PFK will continue working with a diverse collection of organizations in the future to focus the further development, use, maintenance and enhancement of a pathways system that meets the needs of Keene residents and visitors.
