Snowbrook Trail

Snowbrook Trail is a short but varied mountain biking route in the Carrabassett Valley of Maine, managed by State Park and Recreation. It is a compact, out-and-back ride of about half a mile, with a moderate difficulty rating and a climb of about 64 feet total, so it works well as a quick session or a way to build skills on mixed terrain. The trail's mix of surfaces makes it a challenge for technical riders, and it is described as accessible to blue square level mountain bikers. The route reaches a high point of about 1,390 feet and a low of about 1,357 feet, with the steepest stretch coming in at about 3% just past the first tenth of a mile. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from the Long Falls Dam weather station, about 11 miles away, put July highs near 77°F with lows around 55°F, and the trail sits a few hundred feet higher than the station, so temperatures on it run a little cooler. Several other mountain biking routes lie close by. Seven Bridges Trail and Bob's Bruiser are both about 0.1 mile away, and Sunny Breeze is about 0.2 mile away. China Cat Trail, a hike, is also within about 0.2 mile.
