Outdoor Recreation Resources
Getting outside this winter doesn't mean you have to be willing to climb Katahdin, or even drive more than half an hour from home. Whether it be an afternoon stroll, a spin on the new cross-country skis, or just an afternoon sledding with the kids, you'll feel refreshed and exhilarated. Here are some resources to help find trails in your area.
Healthy Maine Walks: A comprehensive recreation directory! Allows you to search for trails by location and provides a detailed description of each, as well as allowed trail uses (biking, walking, skiing, etc.).
Portland Trails: Features an interactive map to find trails in the area from South Portland north to Falmouth and inland as far as Westbrook.
Ski Maine Association: A great comprehensive listing of ski centers in Maine, both downhill and cross-country/nordic, with links to each and current snow conditions. Also includes a schedule of events.
Trails.com: Sort by activity (cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, etc.) and see an overview and description of each trail.
Maine Tourism Association: A summary of activities by season and links to resources for each, including upcoming events, vacation suggestions, a fall foliage report, how to find a professional outdoor guide, ski and snowshoe centers, and trail systems information.

Correction for the 2010 Print Edition
Why tri? (page 42):
The "Maine Cancer Foundation Tri for a CURE" was incorrectly titled the "Susan G. Komen Tri for a Cure" in the table of races. Our apologies to the Maine Cancer Foundation! This year's race will be held Sunday, August 15th, at 2 p.m.
