The Belfast Rail Trail
By Linda Tancs
Belfast, Maine, is a sister city to Belfast, Northern Ireland. Like its counterpart, it was once known for shipbuilding. These days, it’s a relaxing small town with a Harborwalk providing views of a shipyard that dominates the downtown waterfront. Another walking opportunity is the Belfast Rail Trail, a former railroad bed following the western bank of the Passagassawakeag River (the “Passy”). The route starts at the waterfront near the pedestrian bridge and is popular with pedestrians and bicyclists. In winter, the trail is excellent for snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing when it snows.
