Our family loves this trail for it's wide, flat route that provides great views of the bay, connections to other trails like the Back Cove Trail and the Bayside Trail, and connections to the Old Port and Eastern Prom (beach, playground, greenspace, etc.).
Virtually perfect. Low grade ups and downs. Trail is on street through village of Hallowell. No shoulder, lots of traffic, so we walked our bikes down the sidewalk and enjoyed looking in the shops. A good deal of walkers and other bikers here and there, but manageable. Start in Augusta .5 miles in, big parking lot.
Started at Oak Street trail head parking lot. Headed south, roughly 4 miles out and 4 back. Well maintained crushed packed stone. Best to turn back at Carpenters Bridge if bicycling without fat tires. Part after Carpenters Bridge is Sandy and moguls from ATV use.
I have biked several times over the past 4 years. Nice ride but this past ride (Labor Day week) there was a lot of foot traffic which required a lot of stopping. Usually a nice ride but I guess I picked the wrong day.
My husband and I rode the trails with two of our teenagers. We all had e-bikes, which isn’t necessary, but came in handy on some of the hills we had to bike up (I shouldn’t really say hill, it’s a mountain!). We brought two and rented two from Southwest Cycle in Southwest harbor. They were excellent quality. The carriage roads are well maintained and there are signs that are easy to follow to lead you to different destinations. There are also many scenic spots to stop and take photos or just hike around if you want to.
You can’t beat this. Start down south at the boatyard and go north to the end. But don’t end there- go right over the bridge then head back south on the quiet paved road down to footpath road. Takes you back to the start. Remember to be respectful on your bike / e-bike
Very poor it's not what it say you have barriers that you can't fit a trike through needs a lot of work Very little pavement on it.
I rode out and back for a total of 12.5 miles from Machias. I am a very experienced 65 y.o. road rider with moderate experience on mountain and a novice on gravel bikes. I rode a Salsa Warbird (gravel) bike with 42 mm tires (tubeless with appropriate pressure). I thought the trail was a nice gravel ride, Scenic and flat. My wife, who has similar road biking experience but does not like mountain biking or gravel, rode a total of 4 miles on the same bike and tire setup. She turned around because it wasn’t fun. I saw lots of walkers, a guy using a rollator, a couple cyclotouring, two teenagers: one on a 4 wheeler and one on a small dirt bike(bothe waved). While I don’t get TTVs and wish they weren’t on the trail, the trail was fine for gravel bikes, IMHO..
This is a very enjoyable trail from Augusta to Gardner. Much of it is along a high bank of the river with wooded views to the east side. At the Augusta side, in season large sturgeon jump high and loudly flop into the water below the damn. Passing through Hollowell is a treat with its interesting shops and a great halfway stop for drinks and/or food at its several restaurants. Gardner on Thursday evenings has an antique car show in the river park with music and food trucks.
We just did the trail. A good portion is closed due to winter flood damage which removed parts of the trail. Rubble replacement now. Entire trail passible but closed sections rough. Trail is downhill west to east
