Gould Landing Trail is an easy hiking trail that’s managed by the Orono Land Trust near the shore of Pushaw Lake in Orono. Forming a loop, the trail measures about 0.5 mile, not including a short side trail and a cut-off trail that bisects the loop. The trail is mostly located on a 38-acre parcel of land that’s owned by the Maine Department of Transportation. The property features upland forest on the shore of Pushaw Lake, as well as wetlands and two islands in Pushaw Lake. A trail easement given by private landowner in 2003 made it possible for a walking trail to be created on the property because his land bridged a gap between the trailhead and the state-owned property.
