Looking for a winter adventure close to home? The DeMeritt University Forest in Old Town offers a network of trails perfect for snowshoeing. Maintained by the University of Maine Forestry Office, these trails wind through a working research forest, providing a serene backdrop for your outdoor explorations. โ„๏ธ

While the trails in the northern section are not groomed during winter, they offer a more rugged experience for those seeking a true connection with nature. The forest is a haven for wildlife, so keep your eyes peeled for animal tracks in the snow.

Before you head out, here are a few tips:
Plan Ahead: Inform someone about your plans and expected return time.
Stay Warm: Dress in layers and bring the necessary gear to stay comfortable in cold conditions.
Trail Access: Primary access points are via gated woods roads directly off College Avenue Extension. Limited parking is available, so plan accordingly.
Information source โ€œMaine Trail Finderโ€

Embrace the beauty of Maine's winter landscapes and share your snowshoeing adventures with us. Weโ€™d love to see your photos and hear about your experiences!

Welcome to Bangor!

Bangor is the third-largest city in the state and the retail, cultural, and service center for central, eastern and northern Maine, as well as Atlantic Canada.

Bangor is 90 minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, Maineโ€™s historic Mid-Coast town of Camden, and Baxter State Park, home to Mt. Katahdin, Maineโ€™s highest peak. Many more small, quaint and historic towns, such as Greenville situated along Moosehead Lake, are just a day trip away and make Bangor the perfect starting point for the areaโ€™s recreational, cultural and relaxation opportunities.

The architecture you will see when visiting Bangorโ€™s historic Downtown tells takes of Bangorโ€™s gilded age. Our many brick buildings are a tribute to the tenacious spirit of the citizens following the Great Fire of 1911. Our historic districts will provide you a glimpse into the Queen Cityโ€™s past. Music, theatre, outdoor adventure and more await you in Bangor!
