Riverfront Trail

The Kenduskeag Stream Trail offers a delightful blend of urban accessibility and natural charm, perfect for a quick escape in Bangor. You'll follow the Kenduskeag Stream through wooded sections, past striking granite rocks, and even catch glimpses of small waterfalls and rapids. The path itself varies from wide gravel to packed dirt and paved sections, providing a diverse walking surface that keeps things interesting.

This easy route covers 3.2 miles (5.2 km) with a gentle 146 feet (45 metres) of elevation gain, making it suitable for nearly everyone and taking about 1 hour and 21 minutes to complete. While generally flat, be aware of a few moderate inclines and a short, steep hill with a staircase in one section. For your safety, it's best to explore the trail during daylight hours.

What makes the Kenduskeag Stream Trail truly unique is its connection to Bangor's history, with remnants of old mills visible along the banks. It also links downtown Bangor with various parks and offers opportunities to spot waterfowl in calmer sections of the stream. You can even extend your hike by connecting to the Bangor Waterfront Trail for a longer adventure.
