The trail system here — for hiking, running, and cross-country skiing — connects to the beautiful trail around the Readfield fairgrounds. The hiking paths also connect up to snowmobile trails, which I didn’t include on my map. I found a pretty good map of the system, which includes the way the trails have been blazed — which I found a little confusing when I was out there without a map.
Directions: After going up the school complex on Millard Harrison Drive, you can pick up the trail at several points around the school grounds. I walked into the wooded trail system from behind the baseball field closest to the school. Or you can connect to it from the Readfield Fairgrounds, where it might be easier to park when the school is in session.
