Route and access notes

A long multi-use gravel rail trail across Hancock and Washington counties in coastal Maine, running from the Ellsworth area to Ayers Junction through forests, marshes and small communities.

Planning this route

The refreshed connected geometry is 141.5 km, consistent with the current 87.9-mile route mapping. Maine recommends fat-tire bikes. Long remote sections, mixed users and limited services make current condition, water and repair planning essential.

Access and source limitations

The corridor is shared with pedestrians, horses, ATVs and snowmobiles under seasonal rules. During snow cover ATVs and horses are excluded; during posted mud-season closures only pedestrian use is allowed. Construction zones and saturated-soil closures apply to all signed sections.
