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
Little Bacon Hill
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.
