Salmon Brook Lake Bog Public Land
Located in Perham, this public land largely consists of an ecological reserve encompassing much of Salmon Brook Lake Bog (yes, that’s its actual name! Wonderfully verbose). The bog is home to numerous rare plants, and there are areas of beautiful mature forest surrounding it. The trail network is best accessed from the trailhead on Tangle Ridge Road. Alternatively, the Bangor and Aroostook Trail (a multi-use rail trail) can be used to get to the hiking trails. The trail is a little tricky to locate through the grassy field surrounding the parking lot, but it starts directly behind the kiosk, and it is much easier to follow once it enters the woods.
