Belfast Bay to celebrate trail’s grand opening

BELFAST – The Belfast Bay Watershed Coalition is inviting the public to a celebration of the grand opening of the Little River Community Trail at 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26, at Walsh Field on Route 52.

Over the past two years the coalition, along with students from Troy Howard Middle School and BCOPE, plus members of the Belfast area community, have worked to complete the last mile and a quarter of the original Little River Trail, which begins at the Belfast Water District Building off Route 1. The work involved siting the trail, clearing and the construction of walkways and plank bridges over forested wet areas.

Support for the trail’s construction was provided by the Holmes Family, Viking Lumber and the Maine Forest Service.
