QUICK TRAIL FACTS

- Difficulty: easy
- Sights: woods, little park
This is a very well-made, universally accessible 0.6-mile trail that runs close to downtown, but still offers a quiet place for an outdoor excursion. If you cross Route 26, you can link up with the Viking Trail for a longer outing. The trail ends (or starts) at a skateboard park. At the Beal Street end of the path, you can leave the railroad trail to do a short and easy loop in the woods.
Directions: Just off Route 26, stay straight on Main Street heading west (toward the lake).Right after passing Norway Savings Bank turn right on Danforth Street. At the stop sign turn right. You’ll see the kiosk and trailhead on your immediate left. Park here.
The Rail trail has been updated and improved. All of the railroad ties were taken out.
Western Foothills Land Trust and the town of Norway were involved and WFLT has also acquired Noyes Mtn in Greenwood, which has some trails as well. Check http://wfltmaine.org/
Thank you for the trail update! I am excited to check it out now that it’s been worked on. (Any excuse to visit Western Maine…)
