Whether youre a hiker, mountain biker, snowmobiler or ATV rider, you can enjoy a different sort of exploration on the Southern Bangor and Aroostook Trail.

This 37-mile, multi-use trail follows an old rail bed, so its relatively flat. It makes for a great trip as it winds through small towns in southern Aroostook.
