To complete your visit or help keep non-biking members of your family or group entertained there are a host of activities in Carrabassett Valley and the region:

Hiking

There are nearly endless options for hiking in the area, from leisurely nature walks to challenging summit hikes. A two hour hike to the summit of Burnt Mountain provides access to views from a treeless summit. For a more challenging hike, consider the Horns or Avery Peak in the Bigelow range. A short walk into West Mountain Falls starts west from the Golf Club access road and meanders along the south branch of the Carrabassett ending at the falls and a deep swimming hole. Maine Huts & Trails has some great options that can include a stop (or stay) at one of their huts –contact them for more details at www.mainehuts.org. Sugarloaf Resort also offers guided hikes –contact them for more details at www.sugarloaf.com.
