Mountain Biking
Some of the best mountain biking in the area is at the The Bacon Hill mountain bike trail system, built and maintained by MLT’s conservation partner, Inland Woods + Trails.
The Bacon Hill trails are free and open to the public. They are located in Albany Township, within the 12,300-acre Crooked River Headwaters (CRH) easement owned by Larry Stifler and Mary McFadden.
In addition to the Bacon Hill trails, the CRH easement includes over seventy miles of hiking and mountain biking trails; several mountains, ponds, rivers and streams, a world-class fly fishing site, a historic mine, and the headwaters for filtering clean drinking water for 1 in 6 Maine residents and the city of Portland.
Ride Options

This intermediate-level loop, is just under two miles. The multi-feature trail offers an opportunity for riders to develop their skills. Little Bacon Hill is a one-way trail ridden clockwise.
Big Bacon Hill
This loop leaves from the Playground, meets up with a woods road, then loops back to the Little Bacon Hill trail. Big Bacon Hill may be ridden in either direction.
