Highland Trail is a compact mountain biking route in Maine on Regional Agency Land, about 0.6 miles out and back. It's a moderate ride on mixed terrain, with a blue square classification that makes it an intermediate-level option for riders looking to practice technical skills. The trail's short length and varied surfaces let riders work on their abilities without committing to a long day on the bike. The route starts at about 1,256 feet and reaches a high point of about 1,312 feet, with a total gain and loss of about 105 feet each way. The steepest part comes at around the 0.5-mile mark, where the grade reaches about 6%. For a longer outing, the Redington Connector and Lowland Trail sit about 0.4 miles away, and the Warming Hut Trail offers hiking close by. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 77°F in July, with typical July and August highs in the upper 70s. Winter is cold, with typical January highs in the low 20s.
