A multiyear $1.25 million trail project, funded by federal and state grants, will deliver more than 18 miles of natural surface trails in Island Falls, Patten and Millinocket. The Outdoor Sport Institute, a nonprofit based in Millinocket, was recently awarded the grants to expand non-motorized trail systems throughout Maine’s Katahdin Region as a way to support the region’s growing outdoor economy, according to institute Executive Director Mike Smith.
