Trail System

Seven Ponds is located in Monson and Elliotsville Township, ME. There are six primitive designated walk-in tenting spots with fire rings and picnic tables, and two day-use areas with picnic tables. In 2024, construction began on a mountain bike trail network. We currently have approximately 2 miles of beginner level single track trails (as determined by IMBA rating standards), which are accessible from the campsites. The public is welcome to use these trails on foot, snowshoes, mountain bikes, and class 1 ebikes. We have plans to build more trails in the coming years.
