Miles Lane Trail, Bucksport

This is the nicest network of trails (about three miles) I’ve walked on near a school. The students — particularly x-c runners — are lucky! The paths are wide, smooth and wheelchair accessible. There is a little path (rougher than the rest) around a small pond near the upper portion of the trail. This path weaves through forest and around playing fields. One short portion follows the power lines.

Directions: You can pick up the trail close to the running track. If you park behind Bucksport’s high school, at 102 Broadway Street, you’ll see a paved path going up a hill and toward the running track. Follow that and look for the blue Miles Lane signs and the crushed gravel path heading into the woods.
