Sargent Trail is a short, moderate mountain biking route in northern Maine, set within the Penobscot Nation. The trail is an out-and-back of about 0.7 miles, with a total climb of about 46 feet, so it's a low-elevation ride that fits easily into a longer day on the surrounding network of trails. The route starts at about 1,199 feet and reaches a high point of about 1,216 feet, with the steepest stretch coming at about 0.13 miles in. The trail is short enough to ride quickly, and its low elevation makes it a natural addition to a cluster of nearby mountain biking routes. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from the Long Falls Dam weather station, about 10 miles away, show July highs around 77°F with lows near 55°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. The Narrow Gauge Pathway lies just 0.1 mile away, and F.O.R.D. and Crockertown are each about 0.4 mile off. Climbers can find Tufulio's Boulders about 3 miles away.
