Confirmed from Papermill Trail / Miller Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Papermill Trail / Miller Park
“Well kept, dog friendly, very peaceful and beautiful.”
“It is a beautiful long walk, fully paved with lots of birds 🐦 🕊🦜 a few trails off from the paved trails if you're feeling adventurous.”
“The sound of the river is lovely, and the trail that goes away from the direction of the road is fairly peaceful especially during the weekdays or wintertime.”
“You can walk the trail or ride your bike and dogs are welcome.”
This is a really great place to come if you like to walk in the woods on a paved, mostly flat trail. There are woodland trails you can follow from the paved trail that go down closer to the river. There's lovely trees at every turn, and the river has some pretty interesting rapids.
It is a beautiful long walk, fully paved with lots of birds 🐦 🕊🦜 a few trails off from the paved trails if you're feeling adventurous. Wonderful outlooks of the surrounding water rocky streams are lovely to watch and listen to. Some nice spots to have a picnic and enjoy the view.🌈🌞🦋❤️
By far my favorite waking park in Maine so far. It's just so beautiful, it's paved the whole way and it's just over 5 miles or 11500 steps round trip if you walk back and forth. Great views and nice people walking the trails. Felt super safe.
Nice and short paved trail. There is a running river alongside the trail which is great.
