Lowland Trail is a short, 0.12-mile mountain biking route in the Carrabassett Valley area of northern Maine, managed by State Park and Recreation. It's a compact out-and-back with a flat profile and only 3 feet of elevation gain, which makes it an easy addition to a longer day on the trail network. The trail is rated moderate and is designed for riders comfortable with intermediate-level obstacles. The mix of dirt, rock and root networks typical of Maine's forested terrain makes it a practical ride for building skills or a quick warm-up. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from the Long Falls Dam weather station, about 11 miles away, run to highs near 77°F in July with lows around 55°F. The Rt 27 Connector lies just 0.1 mile away and Bob's Backyard Boogie about 0.2 mile off. The Snail Trail and Narrow Gauge Pathway are both within a third of a mile for hikers and bikers.
