Powerline is a short, flat mountain biking route in Oaklands Town Forest in New Hampshire, set within a cluster of biking trails and climbing areas. The ride is an out-and-back, 0.36 miles long, with a low point of 129 feet and a high of 152 feet. The climb profile is flat, and the total elevation gain and loss are each 54 feet, so the route works as a quick connector or warm-up. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from the nearby Epping weather station show highs around 68°F in May and 73°F in September, while July peaks near 82°F. Several other routes sit within a short distance. To Bog is 0.1 mile away and Bog is 0.2 mile away, with Big Ben at 0.3 mile. Climbers can find Town Forest North about half a mile off.
