A tour of the new Katahdin Area Trails for mountain biking

The Katahdin Area Trails network on Hammond Ridge features a 5-mile loop trail designed for beginner mountain bikers. Surfaced with locally-sourced crushed shale mixed with hardpan soil, the trail is single track, measuring between 3 and 4 feet wide, and weaves through a beautiful forest. 

The network also features about a mile of slightly more challenging single track, which will be expanded in the future. These trails cross wide ski trails, which are also open to bikes.

These biking trails officially opened in June 2019, and there are plans to expand the network, adding more challenging single-track trails over the next few years.
