This quiet trail in Trenton explores a forest filled with lichens and mushrooms

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • September 24, 2021

The 1.8-mile Trenton Community Trail is located on forestland that surrounds the Acadia Gateway Center in Trenton, where visitors can hop on a bus to explore the nearby Acadia National Park. Friends of Acadia purchased the property in 2007, then worked with the Town of Trenton to plan and construct the trail from 2009 to 2013. In December of 2013, Friends of Acadia placed a conservation easement on the property to restrict development and allow for public recreation before donating it to the Town of Trenton. The trail is quiet compared to others in the area.
