This 7-mile trail along the Seboeis River is Maine’s latest outdoors triumph

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • December 19, 2022

In recent years, the Butler Conservation Fund has created two extraordinary outdoor facilities in Maine: Penobscot River Trails in Grindstone and Cobscook Shores in Washington County. When Butler Conservation Fund spokesperson Betta Stothart invited me to join her for an inaugural overnight trek on the newly constructed Seboeis Riverside Trail, I enthusiastically accepted. Recently, the trailhead parking area was enlarged and a warming hut called Snowshoe Lodge was built about 2 miles downriver. The trail is now open year-round to visitors, free of charge, and can be traveled by snowshoe in the winter, and hiking in the summer.
