Difficulty: Easy to moderate. The Hammond Ridge Trail System currently includes about 6 miles of single-track mountain bike trails, which are smooth-surfaced and feature many turns and interesting features such as small jumps. These trails vary somewhat in difficulty. On the trail map, the 4-mile Katahdin Area Trails Loop trail is labeled in green as “easy,” while some connecting trails are labeled in blue as “more difficult.” These single-track trails intersect with wide, gravel-based cross-country ski trails, which are open to biking and hiking as well.

Information: The Hammond Ridge Trail System is an expanding trail network for mountain biking, cross-country skiing and hiking located just outside Millinocket on Black Cat Mountain
