Grassy Loops #3 is a short, easy mountain biking trail in Maine, about 0.7 miles from the town of Bigelow. It's a green circle trail, roughly 0.4 miles long, with no elevation gain. The route is a gentle out-and-back, and the name suggests open, grassy sections that make for a more forgiving ride than the rocky terrain typical of the state. The trail is suited to beginners and experienced riders alike. It's a quick warm-up loop for those learning singletrack skills or a short ride for anyone looking to stay on the bike without a long commitment. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from the nearby Long Falls Dam weather station show July highs around 77°F with lows near 55°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. Grassy Loops #1 and Grassy Loops #2 sit about 0.1 mile away, and the Narrow Gauge Pathway is about 0.3 mile off. Climbers can find Tufulio's Boulders about 4.6 miles away.
