Wheels turning to build Maine’s next mountain biking destination

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • September 26, 2021

Greenville has seen a surge in visitors the past two summers during the pandemic, adding to those tourists who have already made the Moosehead Lake region one of Maine’s premier outdoor destinations. Now, some in the town of 1,600 hope the development of a mountain-bike trail system modeled after those built in other Maine communities will draw more tourists and year-round residents. The Moosehead Outdoor Alliance recently received permission from the Maine Bureau of Parks and Land to build a 25-mile trail system on 2,000 acres of the state-owned Little Moose Public Reserve just west of Greenville, where several hiking trails and primitive campsites already are popular.
