The Lodge to Lodge Trail is a short, out-and-back cross-country ski route in Katahdin Iron Works, a non-governmental land unit in Maine. The trail is about 1.5 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 81 feet, and it starts and ends at roughly 1,194 feet. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.07 miles from the start, and the high point reaches 1,214 feet. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Greenville show January highs around 23°F with lows near 5°F, while March runs warmer at about 34°F. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run slightly cooler. Several other ski routes and hiking trails lie within a mile. Forrest Folly is about 0.3 miles away, Upper Valley Road about 0.5 miles, and the Nation's Nature Trail and Laurie's Ledge Trail are both about 0.6 miles off.
