This summer, an important improvement was made with a major bridge replacement on The Frazier Preserve in Gorham. This is one of the Land Trust’s most popular trails, especially for mountain bikers, as it connects downtown Gorham to a large and diverse network of technical trails on Town and private land, such as the Cross Town Trail. The new 140-foot boardwalk-style bridge is wider and more stable, allowing bikers and hikers access to beautiful forests and wetlands in the center of Gorham.

A dedicated team of volunteers from the Presumpscot Regional Land Trust, Gorham Conservation Commission, and the Greater Portland New England Mountain Bike Association did the work, aided by funding from the Maine Mountain Bike Trail Fund.

There is no hunting on the Preserve. As always, please leave no trace.
