Penobscot Ridge Mountain Bike Trail — Attraction in Newport Township

I am going to do my best to be fair, as it is not the fault of the trail or those who care for it that we've had some rainy weather, and the trail was super muddy and had puddles the size of small lakes throughout....

Next time I go I plan on taking some gloves and garbage bags as well. Be the change you want to...

I did not stop to explore, but will come back to see if Waze just took me to a bad location. At that point I will re-access my review and hopefully give the park a better rating. While this trip was very disappointing, I'm holding out hope for a better experience next time. I must admit however the towns along the way were quite rustic and charming. The area is definitely worth further...

Bottom trail head has two picnic tables and...
