Lowland Trail

Lowland Trail is a short, moderate mountain biking route in the Carrabassett Valley of Maine, managed by State Park and Recreation. The trail is an out-and-back that covers about 0.36 miles with a total elevation gain of 104 feet, so it works well as a quick ride or a warm-up before heading to other trails in the area. The trail's name may suggest flat terrain, but the route includes technical elements that make it a good choice for riders looking to build skills. The climb is steepest near the start, with a 7% grade at about 0.11 miles, and the trail reaches a high point of 1,328 feet before returning to the low point of 1,283 feet. 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. Several other trails sit close by. Bob's Backyard Boogie is about 0.1 mile away, and the Warming Hut Trail and Highland Trail are each about 0.2 mile off. Climbers can find Tufulio's Boulders roughly 3.7 miles away.
