We missed doing this one after finding the Solan Falls Rd mid-point parking spot. It was off in the woods and thought the location was wrong. Not making the excursion ended up being OK, as we lost a bike tube on one of the bikes before starting.

Second hand report from fellow campers, however, said that starting at the Solan mid-point is a great ride up to Bingham where they stopped in a shop for sandwiches before heading back. Trail was described as ATV and great for bikes.

This route parallels the Kennebec river and Rt 201 with all of the moose crossing warning signs.
Beautiful vistas.

Cautionary note:
If biking/fishing, a possible note of caution here that may or may not quite apply to this section of the river is to be aware of the upper water releases into the river up through The Forks area. Check with locals for water rise times if fishing. If in or near the river, look for the high water marks which may still be damp. Rapid water rises occur on a scheduled basis, and water marks are as much as 6 feet above in The Forks area.

****
Take my rating with a grain of salt. We drove this route of 201 several times, but a bike maintenance issue prevented use from actually riding it and giving a more accurate description. Really wanted to do this one!
