All-Persons Trail nears completion in Rumford Community Forest

SUN JOURNAL • August 4, 2025

Work on an all-access looped trail in the Rumford Community Forest is nearing completion, according to Travis Dustin, lands coordinator for Inland Woods + Trails. The half-mile trail, called the All-Persons or Universal Trail, is built to accommodate wheelchairs, strollers and people using walkers and crutches. “This trail actually crosses a bunch of different habitats. We’re going to have a marshland area, where the stream coming down Scotty’s Brook pretty much starts along the trail, so everyone can see that,” Dustin said.
