The trails are currently lined with brilliant reds, oranges, and golds, making this one of the most beautiful times of year to get outside and explore at PRT! Whether you're biking, walking, or trail running, the next couple of weeks are going to be something special.

Autumn is in full swing here at PRT, and after the beautiful stretch of weather we’ve had this month, we’re even excited for a few days of rain in the upcoming forecast!

As we crest toward October, it’s time to make those peak foliage plans! Grab your friends and family and head on over to bike, walk, or trail run our beautiful trail system. The fall colors are here, and there’s no better time to get outside and enjoy them!

Our MOEP Fall Biking Program has officially kicked off for the season, and Brewer’s eighth graders took to the trails with style and ease yesterday!

Students pedaled nearly eight miles through our trail system while enjoying the fresh air, learning about land stewardship, and discovering a beautiful new place to explore with friends and family.

The next six weeks are sure to bring plenty of mountain biking, outdoor learning, and memorable days on the trails!

We’re gearing up for our 8th season of mountain biking with the Maine Outdoor Education Program!

In just a few short weeks, our coaches will be back on the trails with students from across central and northern Maine, making the most of cool fall mornings and beautiful days while building skills, confidence, and a connection to the outdoors.

For some students, that means learning how to ride a bike for the very first time. For others, it’s learning how to transition from pedal brakes to disc brakes, understanding why wearing a helmet matters for the rest of your life, or building more confidence navigating the trails. Along the way, students are learning lessons in outdoor education rooted in Maine and our own backyard!

Our coaches have spent fourteen years meeting students where they are, encouraging them to try something new, and helping thousands of young people experience the outdoors.
Here’s to another upcoming season on the trails!

Early morning light on the East Branch of the Penobscot River. We're in awe daily at how incredible and vast this neck of the woods is. We're so grateful for all of you who choose to come here, recreate, share the experience with family and friends, and continue to visit season after season!

As we move through August, a light reminder that our Maine Outdoor Education Program Fall Biking Program will begin in early September. While we have a full fleet of bicycles dedicated to the program, there are days when we're working with 100+ students, and we may need to pull additional bikes from our rental fleet.

This may mean limited rental availability on select days throughout the fall as more students head outdoors and onto the trails.

Thank you all for your understanding!

It's a beautiful weekend to get out on the trails! Bike rentals are in full swing, and with nearly 16 miles of crusher dust trails to explore, the opportunities for adventure are endless.

Pictured here is the view of Katahdin from our Long Meadow Warming Hut. It's a unique perspective of Maine's highest peak, one that's often not seen since most views are taken head-on.

Grab your friends and family, and make your plans to explore Penobscot River Trails this summer.

Medway Middle School shared the epitome of a perfect summer day with us on Wednesday. Hot temperatures, bluebird skies, and 8.5 miles paddled on the river made for an unforgettable day full of smiles, laughter, and time well spent outside together!💧
