Two parallel trails leave the 78 Lufkin Road parking lot, one designed for snowmobiles. The trail network includes a one-mile “lollipop” loop trail for walking and biking, as well as spurs connecting to neighborhoods and powerlines.
The mature woods are filled with woodpeckers, warblers, and wildlife, and are formed by a diverse mix of red oak, “legacy” mature white pine, hemlock, beech, red pine, and maple. Few forest stands of this quality exist in Cumberland County. Surrounded by mossy stone walls, the trails are popular for walking and family-friendly mountain biking. Blueberries, lady slippers, mushrooms, and wildflowers are scattered on the forest floor. A snowmobile trail creates year-round connections to Route 115 near the Gray-North Yarmouth town line.
One of the best-recorded Wabanaki languages is the Penobscot language. To learn more about the Penobscot language, for translation and pronunciation, this online Penobscot dictionary is an amazing new resource which was used for the spelling and pronunciation of “Mèmak (plural).”
