Formally called the Rolland F. Perry City Forest, this sprawling expanse of wildlife habitat and working forest abuts the 205- acre Walden-Parke Preserve. Need to gear up before the ride? You're just a 5-minute drive from the nearest Starbuck's latte. The Bangor City Forest and Walden- Parke Reserve areas, known affec- tionately to local riders as "the bog," hosts trails that are a hidden sur- prise. Trails that have a reputation for being difficult. "Busy." Not a lot of flow. Most trails push your skills as you make your way through chal- Although many us enjoy these challenging trails, they are not for lenging New England singletracks. Riding the Bog is a rite of passage everyone. The lack of beginner singletrack trails in the area keeps new for locals. riders from developing the skills to master more difficult routes and 8 |May 2015 Ride the Trails ST201505 139.qxd 3/31/2015 2:16 PM Page 9 really explore the area. Current 'beginner' trails are just double track that don't give newer riders the experience of riding real singletrack. There's little to no transition from the packed dirt trails to the winding, rooty, rocky challenge of the existing singletrack network. Recognizing that these riders are a key component in grow- ing the sport in our area, PR NEMBA has been working with the Bangor Parks and Recreation Department to link a system of 'improved' singletrack trails that are accessible and more enjoyable to less experienced riders as well as provide the "flow" experience that many riders feel the City Forest lacks. That said, the City Forest still offers something for every rider, from the smooth gravel of Deer Trail to the rocks and roots of Bear Trail to the woodsy path of Woodchuck. This network, including the smooth East-West trail, is popular with walkers and runners, so be considerate of our fellow users. In general, you get classic Northeast singletrack— lots of rocky, rooty, twisty trails. Adam Craig, one of the most prolific mountain bike racers in U.S. history—Olympian, World Cup racer, and winner of 18 national championships—started his racing and cycling apprenticeship on the rocks and roots of the Bog. Craig, a native of the small New England town of Exeter, Maine, credits much of his World Cup racing success to the skills he learned riding on the trails in these Maine woods. Continued on page 10 Save the Trails SingleTrackS No. 139| 9 ST201505 139.qxd 3/31/2015 2:16 PM Page 10 Located in the northeast corner of the city, the Forest also con- tains the entrance to the Orono Bog Boardwalk. The 1-mile boardwalk loop trail extends far into the other worldly landscape of a classic peatland. Although closed to bikes, the Boardwalk offers a bike rack and gives riders a chance to do some up-close, on-foot nature observation, including 3 types of carnivorous plants. Want something a little differ- ent? Cross over to the west side of the old Veazie Railroad bed, and enter the Walden-Parke Preserve, owned by the Bangor Land Trust. This diverse habitat includes hardwood and softwood forest, vernal pools, and a large bog. The Preserve offers lots of fun, flowy loops through a series of less technical single track, swaths of trees, along the edges of the bog, on top of rocky out- crops. Unlike City Forest trails, the mountain bike trails in the 10 |May 2015 Ride the Trails ST201505 139.qxd 3/31/2015 2:16 PM Page 11 Preserve aren't marked. But local riders or groups lead by PR NEMBA or one of our 3 local bike shops can direct you to excellent trails: Charlie's Trail or Ianazzi's or Hayden's. The easiest way to access the Bog is to park at the end of Kittredge Road, just off Stillwater Avenue, at the back of the Bangor Mall. There you'll see a field resembling a half dome— literally the capped former city dump. Over this sloping hill you'll pass bluebird houses, a cattail marsh where red-winged blackbirds fly about, and an iconic beaver dam leading to the trail network. Enjoy this wild place—so close, yet so far from the Bangor Mall.

As water levels rose, causing some wa- terways to overflow their banks, residents of Keene, New Hampshire cast worried eyes on two of the New England District’s dams – Surry Moun- tain Dam and Otter Brook Dam. Concerns were heighten about stor- age levels behind the dams on Oct. 12 when Surry Mountain Dam reached 73 percent capacity. District officials per- formed water releases at channel capac- ity, but the pool stages only fell slightly. “The projects continued to release as much as they could, but we throttled back as required to keep the Keene Gage on the Ashuelot River below flood stage,” said Paul Marinelli, Team Leader, Res- Photo by John Asseng.
