This is a great path for both walker, jogger, roller blader(yeah, people still do that), bicyclist, snowshoer, cross country skier and more. Awesome views, great amount of parking on both ends of the path, and a dog park! This is a great way for cyclists to get from Brunswick to Bath without having to deal with Bath road. Just follow the path in your very own bike lane to the end of the path, bang a right on Old Bath road, and bada bing, bada boom, you be in Bath! Woot!
