The Merrymeeting Trailblazers and Maine Kennebec Estuary Land Trust have the following bike ride routes available for those interested in visiting farms and studios by bike. Routes leave from Mailly Waterfront Park in Downtown Bowdoinham.

Experience – The longest ride will include up to five farms and studios covering 25 miles total. The shorter ride will include 3 farms with a total distance of 12 miles. Both rides start along the shores of Merrymeeting bay to Richmond’s waterfront park, visiting farms along the way. The longer ride then continues to one of Bowdoin’s newest farms and finishes by visiting a diversified livestock farm.
