1.4 Miles of some of the best trail in the area Riders will find lots of flavor with berms, rock drops, fast descents and old school feel. The Capstone Trail was many years in the making and the first trail in a proposed greater trail system. A new partnership was created with Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust and Eastern Maine Cycling Club gave way to a great opportunity.

-Abundant wildlife habitat and biodiversity
-Clean water
