The Michael Michaud Walking and Biking Trail is a 1.65-mile loop on both sides of Millinocket Stream. Dedicated in 2011, the trail is paved with asphalt and features good signage which directs visitors around the loop. A walk or bike ride on the trail along the waterway is a refreshing experience any time of the year.
Beginning at the trail map along Congress Street in Crandall Park, head north back toward Central Street to enjoy views of the stream. The trail turns right along Summer Street and then left to follow along State Street. Cross Central Street, turn right for one block, and then left onto Water Street. At Spring Street turn left and then right back onto State Street. At the bridge across Millinocket Stream, pause and take in the view.
After crossing the stream, the trail loops around the back of Sterns High School and parallels the stream to Forest Avenue. After crossing Central Street for a second time, the trail runs along Ash Street and Millinocket Stream. As Ash Street ends, the trail picks up on a path around Granite Street School. At Granite Street, turn right to cross Millinocket Stream and right again on the path through Crandall Park back to your starting point.
