Lowland Trail is a short mountain biking route in Maine, set on Regional Agency Land. It's an out-and-back ride of about 0.6 miles with a total elevation gain of about 31 feet, so it's a gentle climb up to the high point of 1,329 feet, then back down. The trail is rated moderate, and the steepest stretch comes early on at about 0.19 miles in, with a grade of around 5 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical July highs reach about 77°F with lows near 55°F, according to averages from a nearby weather station at Long Falls Dam, and September still averages highs in the upper 60s. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the trail run slightly cooler. Several other routes and trails lie close by. Highland Trail is about 0.1 mile away, and the Warming Hut Trail and Cinderella are each about 0.2 miles off. For climbing, Tufulio's Boulders is about 3.6 miles away.
