Michelle's life is a colorful map of exploration and adventure. From the iconic streets of New York to the sunny shores of Florida, the jagged coast of Maine to the rugged terrain of Montana, she's been fortunate to call some of America's most beautiful states home. Beyond the U.S., Michelle's wanderlust has taken her on a motorcycle journey through India, led her to teach English in Hanoi, and saw her studying Spanish in Guatemala. Michelle graduated with a communications degree from the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and in addition to a career in advertising has worked with OnlyInYourState since 2016, where her love for travel and storytelling converges. Alongside writing and exploring, Michelle finds joy in photography, staying active, and time with her family.

In a state like Maine, there’s no shortage of things to do outside. Whether you live for the summer, or look forward to the winter, you’d be hard pressed to run out of activities. One of our favorite things to do is explore the outdoors. But, we don’t necessarily mean huge Katahdin hikes. If you love being outside there are plenty of opportunities to explore without having to train for months ahead of time. We’ve got miles of easy trails to enjoy and lots of lovely walking paths. We thought we’d devote this article to telling you about one of our favorites: The Kennebec River Rail Trail.
If you’re looking for more outdoor activities, but nothing too ambitious (because don’t we all just want to slow down and take our time sometimes?) check out these hiking trails under 5 miles.
Note: Thank you to Terry Ross for taking such lovely photos of the trail and the surrounding area.
