Kyler's Loop is a mountain biking loop in Maine, about half a mile from Bethel. It is a short ride of roughly 1.6 miles, with a total elevation gain of about 11 feet, so it is a low-rise route rather than a climb. The loop's high point is 739 feet, and the low point is 717 feet, with the steepest stretch coming early on at about 0.18 miles in, where the grade reaches 2%. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Bethel show July highs around 79°F with lows near 57°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s and 30s. The loop sits close to other trails. Race Lp. and Left Side are both about 0.1 mile away, and the Bethel Village Trail Access Trail is half a mile off. For a longer outing, Mill Brook Trail, a cross-country ski route, is about a mile away.
