Trails around Rangeley Lakes region getting upgrades

SUN JOURNAL • May 27, 2026

As the summer season quickly approaches, the Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust is expanding trail upkeep on its properties around the region. The nonprofit manages over 40 miles of trails, all with their own needs to stay in shape for public use. Molly Shaw, communications director for Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust, said, “There’s a lot that goes into trail building,” Shaw said. “It’s not just clearing some brush and hacking down a trail. There’s kind of an art form to it.”
