A big thanks to the merry band of volunteers (Bill, Mike, Curt, Jim, Brad & Chris) who gathered to trim weeds along the trail today at the southern end of Hallowell. They cleaned up over half a mile of trail. Looks good.

The 6.5 mile Kennebec River Rail Trail welcomes locals and visitors alike for walking, running, cycling, skateboarding, rollerblading, and dog walking. The trail parallels the existing rail bed along the Kennebec River, and stretches from Augusta Maine’s Waterfront Park, through the towns of Hallowell and Farmingdale, to its conclusion in the city of Gardiner, Maine.
