If you know your way around good enough you can go on this trail and hook on to the bangor city forest/ bangor land trust trails, these are some pretty good trails for both xc riders and single track enthusist.

Summary:
Sweet stuff, but not epic. It's a small area that you can probably cover all it has to offer in less than an hour, but if you want to do laps then it's fine. The trails are really fun, there is just not that many of them. But given the fact that you are either going down hill or up hill, it does make for a great work out. I give it a 3 for not having a huge amount of trails.

Recommended Route:
Go to Essex st and turn where it says essex woods.

I'm sticking with the bog as my fav.

Summary:
The trails are loaded with trees rocks and other objects that you have to clear. The trails are a blast. Even better if yo go on the group ride with ski rack. This is fun fast and technical, great stuff and i love it.

Recommended Route:
You go up to ski rack dump off the truck or car go up towards the homedepo and get on stillwater ave and go up towards orono. as yo are riding down the road you will see a trail that heads over in to a ditch-enter there follow the trails and have fun.

Summary:
Some trails are more technical than anyone would suspect in the Bangor area, there aren't any serious drops or gaps, but there is some serious wood riding in case anyone is looking to make love with a tree.

Recommended Route:
Anywhere where serious technicality is supplied. It's great to know the people that work there so you can hang with some domino's pizza and torque the slolemn.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Towards Indian Hill in Brewer there are some nice trails, a little easier, so I'd stick to Essex Street.
