There are all-purpose gravel trails here, and then there are quite a few narrower twisty biking trails. I got a bit confused walking around in this city forest, probably made worse by the snow. I didn’t see many trail blazes other than trail signs at intersections.
According to the enthusiastic description on Maine Trail Finder, this place sounds like a little piece of heaven when it’s not wintertime. I’ll have to come back! Also, this is a great map of Bangor trails.
Bonus: There’s a massive hill here, great for sledding, as well as an enclosed dog park.
Directions: From Essex Street, turn onto Watchmaker Street. The parking area and park is at the end of the street.
