Summary:
These trails rock. Smooth single track that flow like the Kingdom Trails (without the roots). The technical challenges come in the form of many well built stunts. For the most part, they are wide confidence builders (hardcore free riders will be let down). There are a few that are 6'-8'+ off the ground and skinny. I would not travel to Maine just to ride the stunts, but the combination of great single track and fun stunts make for an awesome ride. Cliff (owner/opperator) has a true passion for trail building and riding. We had a great time and will be back next year.

Recommended Route:
Follow Cliff. The trail heads are difficult to find. You will need a guide.

Summary:
Having spent the vast majority of my time riding in northern New Jersey, its always a pleasure to head up to Maine to check out BCE's awesome singletrack. Cliff has got a heck of a set up between the trails, the playground, and some darn good food to go along with it. This is my second time visiting Parsonsfield and I wasn't disappointed. Multiple additions to the already large network of trails and a tour through the Expressway left me smiling for 3 days. Definitely check this out if you're anywhere near Maine. Heck, go out of your way to get up there!

Recommended Route:
I think there's a link in the description of the trail to BCE, so check that out. Call Cliff, he'll set you up with directions.

Summary:
Back Country Excursions was recommended by a friend who i ride with, he had been there before, and we would definetly go again. the single track trails are endless, and the change in terrain goes on forever. good climbs, great down hill sections and very flowy flat portions. and if you by chance get bored with all of that, many of the trails have great stunts, bridges, sea-saws, jumps and drops for all levels of riders, you wont be dissapointed. my favorite part is the back yard, the rock log palace. and area is filled with fantastically built stunt that will get you going. have an idea for new stunts just ask, and you can build it. accomodations are rustic and food is great, and the hot tub.......... oh yeah!! bring your freinds it a great time.

Summary:
Great place + great trials = great time!!! Trails for all skill levels. Some of the tightest most fun single track I've ridden. Sweet log ramps and aperatice that give a taste of the ever so famous British Columbia.

Reviewed by: Will Chamberlain , from Farmaingdale, ME

Summary:
Narrow up and down singletrack running off of atv trails. The sandy soil and lack of rocks makes for a smooth ride. Great Mt. Bike specific lines and cool stunts for even the most knarliest of riders

Recommended Route:
Ask Cliff at http://www.bikebackcountry.com/
