Narrow Gauge Pathway

The Narrow Gauge Pathway is a short, easy mountain biking route in northern Maine, set on land within the Penobscot Nation. It's a gravel road surface, well maintained and suited to riders of all skill levels, with a green circle rating and no technical challenges. The out-and-back format lets riders turn around at any point, making it a flexible choice for a warm-up or a casual ride through the countryside. The trail is about 0.5 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 29 feet. The climb is flat, and the steepest stretch is only about 2% at the start. The route sits at roughly 1,200 feet, with a high point of about 1,239 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. Jerusalem Town and Crockertown are both within a quarter mile, and the Lowland Trail and Meade are about half a mile away.
