Inland Woods + Trails , a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Bethel, announced the award from the Federal Highway Recreational Trails Program and the Maine Trails Advisory Committee, a committee of the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry.
The grant will allow Inland Woods + Trails to design and construct up to four miles of mountain bike trail in Rumford for its Pennacook Area Community Trails phased extension.
Karen Wilson, an Inland Woods + Trails board member and PACT committee chairperson, said, “With this grant money, we will be able to connect the current trail to Scotties Brook, where we want to build a bench and picnic spot by the river, which is really beautiful.”
