WATERVILLE — Local residents and visitors are invited to enjoy a day of cross-country skiing and other winter activities at Quarry Road Trails, 300 Quarry Road, Saturday, Jan. 27.
The free community event, hosted by the city of Waterville, is the second of three Community Ski Free Days scheduled for the 2017-18 winter season.
The Welcome Center will be open from 10 a.m until 4 p.m. to provide free snowshoes to loan, ski equipment rentals, snacks and information. Ski and snowshoe trails are open all day throughout the season, with lighting on more than a mile of trail for night skiing until 9 p.m. Quarry Road Trails’ state-of-the-art, snow-making system ensures the ski trails are covered, even during periods of low natural snowfall.
Free community events and the Quarry Road Trails are supported through ski pass sales, donations, collaboration with partnering organizations, and contributions from annual sponsors. For further information about the area, volunteer opportunities, programs and events, call Waterville Parks and Recreation at 207-680-4744 or visit quarryroad.org.
Quarry Road Trails is owned and operated by the city of Waterville, Department of Parks and Recreation, developed in partnership with Friends of Quarry Road. Located just minutes from downtown Waterville, the 200-plus acre property abuts Messalonskee Stream and features more than 10 miles of trails for hiking, biking, skiing and snowshoeing.
