Narrow Gauge Pathway

Narrow Gauge Pathway is a short, easy gravel road route in Maine, about 0.9 miles from the town of Bigelow. It's a green circle-rated ride, so it works well for beginners and families looking for a relaxed outing. The route is out and back, roughly 1.1 miles long with a total climb of about 57 feet, and the surface is well maintained. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from the nearby Long Falls Dam weather station put July highs around 77°F with lows near 55°F. That station sits about 134 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the pathway run slightly cooler. Several other rides start within a quarter mile, including Grassy Loops, Mike's Mile 59 and Goldenrod. Climbers can head to Tufulio's Boulders, about 4.5 miles away.
