Confirmed from Penobscot Ridge Mountain Bike Trail'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 Penobscot Ridge Mountain Bike Trail
“Such a serene place to hike or bike.”
Great mountain bike trail. Couple items of note: - You will need a mountain bike, not suitable for hybrid - Not for beginners, there are some technically challenging areas - Wait at least a day or two after it rains before going, water puddles up along trail - Bug spray is probably a good idea - Can be done solo…
I really didn't get to go far because my mom didn't want to go hiking but I'm definitely coming back again it is beautiful and definitely looks like an amazing hike besides a bike trail. You will need a garbage can for people who have dogs.
