Deprey Loop is a 0.59-mile loop in northern Maine, about a mile from the town of Madawaska. It is a short, low-elevation route, with a high point of 853 feet and a low of 793 feet, and it rises only 38 feet over the course of the loop. The climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 6% grade near the start. Winter is the natural season for cross-country skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Frenchville show January highs around 19°F with lows near 3°F, while February runs a little warmer, with highs around 22°F. The station sits about 135 feet higher than the loop, so temperatures on the trail may run slightly warmer. Scream Hill is just 0.1 mile away, and Acadia FCU Loop is about 0.3 mile off, making it easy to link several short routes together in one outing.
