Hinckley Cove Connector Trail

Hinckley Cove Connector Trail is a short, flat out-and-back route in Maine's Roaches CE, a land unit managed by a non-governmental organization. The trail is about a mile long, with a total elevation gain of 44 feet, and it starts and ends within a few feet of the same elevation, making it an easy addition to a day of exploring the surrounding network of trails. Winter is the natural season for cross-country skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Greenville show January highs around 23°F with lows near 5°F, while July highs reach about 75°F. That station sits roughly 300 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the Roaches run a little cooler. The trail links easily with other routes in the area. Hinckley Cove Trail and Dr. Wiggles Trail are each about half a mile away, and Lakeside Trail is a similar distance. Shaw Mountain, a hike, is about a mile off.
