Description

Prepare for Your Visit - check the Bureau's Safety Page.

The Houlton to Phair Junction trail is 37 miles long and extends from Houlton through the Towns of Monticello, Bridgewater, Mars Hill, and loops through the southern edge of Presque Isle. Riders will find a hard gravel surface that is occasionally shared with logging trucks; riders should be aware of other vehicles on the trail and should yield right of way.

The Houlton trail winds through forestland, small northern Maine communities and is open year-round for multiple use.

Enjoy the trail and please remember it is multi-use; motorized users must yield to non-motorized and please demonstrate courtesy and ethics to all trail users as well as abutting landowners.
