The Readfield Trails Committee was established in 2006. Its members devote from 150 to 300 hours annually to working on the more than 10 miles of trails in town, in collaboration with the Readfield Conservation Commission. The latter is responsible for the Readfield Town Forest and the Torsey Lake/Echo Lake trails, while the Trails Committee takes care of the rest of the 10-mile total. In addition, the Kennebec Land Trust has 10 miles of trails in town, bringing the tally to some 20 miles overall, not only for hiking, but for skiing and snowshoeing as well. ~ Carey Kish
