The trail system at Valentine Farm features is largely universally accessible and is great for strollers, wheelchairs, walkers, and anyone looking for a non-strenuous meander or bike ride through a mixed forest and along open fields. The gravel-surfaced trail is mostly 5 feet wide, with short (10 feet or less) sections that are 3 feet wide. The trail consists of an East and West loop, the entrance for both is available from the parking lot.
The West Loop is flat with a maximum grade of 2%. It includes a wheelchair accessible picnic table that overlooks the Androscoggin River.
The East Loop has a 30-foot long stretch with a grade of 9%, and a 20-foot long section with a grade of 15%. Plentiful wild blueberries can be found in the field it circles.
The 0.5-mile River Loop Trail takes visitors through the lower field and brings them to a scenic spot right alongside the Androscoggin River. This trail is not considered accessible.
Trail conditions can change without warning. Trail last assessed: 9/25/2021.
The Valentine Farm trails, as of 2021, now connect via a flat trail next to North Rd to Bethel Pathway, creating 4+ miles of trail that are accessible for many people and uses.
