Carrabassett Valley Mountain Bike Trail Conditions

Carrabassett Valley built one of the East's best networks around Sugarloaf — the Oval, Stoked and the long Narrow Gauge corridor, hand-built and machine-cut through Maine's western mountains. Granite sand and glacial till drain unusually well, so it rides tacky rather than muddy, and the fall season here is the one people plan trips around.
