After 25 years, the Nordic Outdoor Heritage Center in Presque Isle said it's closing by the end of the month. The venue has miles of trails for cross country skiing, mountain biking, and hiking, as well as a disc-golf course. The Center has also hosted the Biathlon World Cup. It's owned by the Libra Foundation and Pineland Farms, and operated by the Presque Isle Recreation and Parks department, where Andrew Perry is deputy director. Perry said although the center is beloved by the community, it's difficult to maintain.
