Orono sits just south of Old Town, Maine, on the Penobscot River. This small town was named for Chief Joseph Orono, a sachem of the Penobscot Nation, whose people have long occupied these lands. It is home to the University of Maine, the state's flagship institution. In large part because of the student population, Orono is full of fun cafes, shops, and restaurants, and is a nice place to stop as you ride around the area.

Old Town, Maine, sits between the Stillwater River to the west and the Penobscot River to the east. This small town is a great place to stop for a mid-, or post, ride bite to eat at one of the many local restaurants and cafes.

The dirt roads around the Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge are great for running and biking. Since the roads can be a bit rough, there isn't usually a ton of traffic that you have to dodge. There are some rolling hills, but the roads are a great fit for both road and trail runners.

The Brewer Riverwalk is a flat, paved path along the eastern banks of the Penobscot River. The path is pretty short, so it's nice to just tack this path onto a longer run.

The Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge is one of the most primitive and pristine natural areas in this area of Maine. The refuge is full of streams, bogs, and wetland areas and is home to a bunch of different species of plants and animals. The roads getting to the trailheads can be rough, which adds to the primitive nature of the area.

The Penobscot River Trails encompass a large trail network on the eastern banks of the East Branch Penobscot River. They are a mixture of singletrack and double-track trails that are popular for mountain biking, running, and hiking. The paths are mostly packed-gravel and dirt and are (for the most part) pretty flat since they are right next to the water.

Sugarloaf Mountain reaches up to 1,868 feet and offers panoramic views of the valley and surrounding mountains of Maine. There is another Sugarloaf Mountain in the state that is along the Appalachian Trail that is quite a bit more popular. This is a short (but steep) trail that promises some solitude on its way up to the rocky summit.
