Thanks for joining us in the epic showdown of Maine trails for Maine Trails Madness 2024! Last year, our bracket featured regions, while this year, we took nominations for individual trails to include. Every week, trails battled it out to advance to win the title. Thanks to all who voted to help determine this year's champion!
In literally every corner of the state, trails are a valued resource for connecting Maine people and visitors with the natural world and reaching destinations to work and play. But funding for trails is urgently needed to meet demand. Maine’s trails are experiencing record levels of use, and many are falling into disrepair because of extreme rain and other weather impacts like we've seen this winter.
The Natural Resources Council of Maine and more than 520 Maine businesses, towns, organizations, and clubs support the Maine Trails Bond (LD 1156), which would invest $30 million in the design, development, and maintenance of non-motorized, motorized, and multi-use trails statewide.
And the winner is.....(drumroll, please) Tumbledown Mountain Trail in Franklin County!
