Bethel Pathway in red; Valentine Farm trails and extension trail in blue.

The paved portion of this town trail is just over a mile, and it’s really lovely and bucolic. Great for strollers, wheelchairs, and bikers, the trail follows the Androscoggin River.

The gravel road extends on the other side as well, to Valentine Farm. It follows North Road briefly before swinging in to edge the airport runway.

There is an unpaved, gravel section after you cross Walkers Mill Road, where a gravel path follows the edge of a field — with bluebirds — and then comes to an end.

Directions: There are several places to pick up the trail. Probably the best place to park is at Davis Park, off of Route 26, just outside of town.

Let me know if you have any trail updates or corrections!
