Penobscot Ridge Mountain Bike Trail

The Penobscot Ridge Mountain Bike Area encompasses the large reclaimed areas of land to the south of Wanamie and the conservation lands of Penobscot Ridge. The combination of existing trails on the site, interesting vegetation, open fields, wooded areas and non-dangerous mine features make mountain biking an ideal low-impact interim use for the site. The trail includes two trailhead facilities with picnic areas including tables and grills and ample parking are located at either end of the two-mile long trail. The mountain bike area consists of a main trunk trail suitable for families, which has easy to moderate bicycling opportunities. The second technical trail provides a more challenging ride, which would be suitable for experienced mountain bike trail riders.
