Bangor Area Trails Map - Bangor Greendrinks

Local environmental non-profit Bangor Greendrinks created a Bangor Area Trails map and guide in 2018. The guide is updated annually. It is a great resource to find riverfront strolls, solitary walks in the woods, challenging singletrack for mountain biking, and winter trails for cross-country skiing, showshoeing, and biking.
