Location: Old Town, Penobscot County
Description: Two trails (one 0.15 miles and the other 0.24 miles) within the seven-mile trail system within the Hirundo Wildlife Refuge
Activities: Hiking, photography, picnicking, wildlife watching
Why it’s special: This trail is special because it meets ADA standards for accessibility so that more people can enjoy nature along these trails. The surfaces are hard packed and wide enough that wheelchairs can be used on the trails, and as you can see in the photo, there are guide ropes along the entire trail length so that people with varying visual or physical abilities can more easily navigate the trails.
