Lumbermen’s Trail on Katahdin Woods and Waters Scenic Byway becomes a reality

THE COUNTY • January 23, 2024

In early 2023, Katahdin Area Trails, a partner in Patten Area Outdoors,  was awarded a Recreational Trails Program grant to construct a high quality, easy to navigate non-motorized accessible trail. The vision was to complete a short evenly graded trail that would include a children’s Storybook Lane on land behind the Lumbermen’s Museum. The hope was that this trail would be a place for people of all ages and abilities to spend time outdoors together. Patten Area Outdoors, a volunteer group in the region focused on creating non-motorized, accessible outdoor options for the region, says that under the supervision of the Outdoor Sport Institute and Katahdin Area Trails the trail has been completed.
