Kennebec Valley Trail

Anson to Bingham - click the map!
  Walk in the footsteps of Benedict Arnold and his march to Quebec in 1775 on this trail.  The Indian Trail became a railroad track and now it's a trail again.
  At 14.6 miles long it's at most a two day trip (one way) and scenic too, a good chance for "something different this weekend".  Parking is available at each end and a the midpoint in Solon.  The trail closely follows the Kennebec River as it winds it way down from Moosehead Lake, it's a large river with opportunities to see wildlife at its finest.
  When the hike is over take a little extra time to drive 15 miles north and walk in to Moxie Falls, that is an easy mile or so, even my wife and daughter did that with me - some years ago.
