Directly across the road (ME Rt. 128) from the Pownalborough Court House, 150 acres of woods are home to over three miles of trails including a 1500’ accessible trail leading from a parking area.
The trails provide a beautiful and walkable system that includes ravines with dells and unusually tall old trees. Located on the western flank of the ridge that divides the Eastern and Kennebec Rivers, the system contains a number of unique features that make it an appealing and distinctive destination. Much of the trail system traverses a mostly mature woodland comprised principally of white pine and groves of eastern hemlock that follows a route overlooking a stream and fern meadows.
The system contains many loop trails with varying terrain and a number of options for hiking distance.
The trails at Pownalborough Court House are meant for walking, hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing only. No bicycles, horses, or motorized vehicles are allowed.
