Description
Colby College offers a variety of trails on their campus, for all interests and abilities. Runnals Hill includes a short uphill climb through an open field, leading to wooded trails ideal for hiking or running. For mountain bikers, those trails connect to nearby trail networks. Perkins Arboretum, on the east side of the Mayflower Hill Drive, offers a variety of footpaths in the 128-acre preserve. Trails are marked with colored blazes on trees or are wide enough where the route is clear.
Getting There
The Trail Network can be accessed from Mayflower Hill Drive as you enter campus, from the parking lot behind the Gordan Center, behind the Hill House, or from the parking lot on Washington Street.
Plans for new signage are being discussed.
