Map shows trails in Oxford County.
- Oxbow’s trails — Oxbow Brewing Co. bought Carter’s cross-country ski center in Oxford and encourages people to ski, fat bike, snow shoe, or walk their trail system for free. While a ski or a snowshoe followed by a beer sounds perfect, I have found the trail system to be inconsistently groomed. The best trail is the ~2.2-mile perimeter blue trail.
- Smith Bridge Preserve — The walking is easy at this nearly 500-acre preserve that abuts the Little Androscoggin River. The current trail system, as of 2023, follows well-established, narrow woods roads, making for easy going through beautiful forest.
