An all-access looped trail designed specifically for wheelchairs, strollers and people using walkers and crutches is getting ready to open to the public for the first time in Rumford Community Forest. A grand opening will be held Saturday, Sept. 20, at the 446-acre forest at 161 Isthmus Road. Secured in partnership by Trust for Public Land, the town, Inland Woods + Trails, and the Northern Forest Center, the project stemmed from the community’s desire to boost its economic vitality, strengthen their outdoor recreation assets, and protect a valuable tract of natural land close to town.
