\n<\/a><\/strong>Benton-Winslow Rotary Trail<\/a>
\nThis approximately 3 mile \u00a0“very level trail, [was] constructed along an old rail bed. It leads to a former rail bridge abutment from which one can look up and down river for a mile each way. Visitors may be see turkeys, deer, ducks, beavers, turtles, and an occasional heron or bald eagle.” \u00a0 \u00a0Thank you Cyndi, for bringing this trail to my attention. \u00a0She writes that the\u00a0“trail’s accessibility is weather dependent. The railroad bed is flat and the ‘superhumus’ bark mulch surface is accessible to individuals in wheelchairs when it is not snow covered. During the winter many people snowshoe, ski, walk and run on this trail so the path is well used and snow becomes packed. This surface becomes slippery when it freezes and boot ice grippers are recommended. The trees along the trail provide a nice wind break.” \u00a0She cautions that hikers should take care to keep\u00a0their children and dogs away from the river and adds that “<\/span>The trail mile markers posts have large print [but]\u00a0may not be visible to all users with limited vision.”\u00a0 Here is a\u00a0\u00a0description from Kennebec Messalonskee Trails<\/a>. <\/span> Phone 207-872-8696.<\/p>\n
