May 29th: Greendrinks Map Party!
Bangor Greendrinks is wicked proud to announce the release of the first Bangor Area Trails Map & Guide on Tuesday, May 29th from 5-8pm at Mason’s Brewing Company!
The Bangor Area Trails Map & Guide will feature over 150 miles of trails and trail networks throughout the Bangor area managed by over a dozen different organizations. Folks will be able to use the map and guide to find great riverfront strolls, solitary walks in the woods, challenging single track for mountain biking, and winter trails for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and fat biking.
Bangor Area Trails was funded through a Bangor Greendrinks Green Grant with additional support from Heart of the Penobscot and Bicycle Coalition of Maine.
A huge thank you to Center for Community GIS for their cartography and design services to create Bangor Area Trails.
Here are the organizations that take care of the trail systems shown on the map. Most groups provide detailed maps and background information about their open space properties on their websites:
