| Only eleven miles, or twenty-two round trip |
This trail runs to or from Medford to Lagrange. The trail starts/ends at the Piscataquis River in Medford at the Ferry Landing, in the shadow of the Trestle Bridge. Years ago the citizens of Medford on the north side of the river had to travel 40 miles to conduct business on the south side of the river; but, the railroad had a bridge. When the railroad left in the 1940's the town and state turned the bridge for use by motor vehicles.
The trail goes through several bogs and crosses small streams too. It's a scenic trail to me, maybe not to all and remember to stay away in mud season. Having been a resident of Medford I have walked parts of this trail repeatedly. In the early 1990's my workplace had a Wellness Committee, and I commited to walk two miles a day - it's a very walkable trail. Remember lunch/snacks and water.
