I love the trails here. Its a great way to escape the city without have to leave the city. Trails for hiking, walking, biking and snowshoeing and x-country skiing in the winter. There are maps posted on some of the trails, but they dont have you are here dots so they can be hard and confusing to read.

Relaxing. Its right in town so its convenient but to me it feels like youre out of town so you get the best of both worlds. Almost everyone that visits is RESPECTFUL and picks up after themselves. My son is 17 and I may not be as cool as I once was but I dont think he has ever said no to going here with us to hang out and spend time together!!

Great place to walk, jog, not sure if bikes allowed. Trails well marked. Map of trail posted at beginning of trails and throughout the trail. We visited from Tampa bay and really loved it. Fall leaves our favorite plus you can smell the pines.

Great urban forest. Best wild woodland forest scenery I have seen. Beautiful to walk in Summer. Great for walks and runs with extensive trails in the over 200 acres.

Bring mosquito repellent! Best choice I made. It will save you from pain and suffering. The trails are nice and lengthy. Nothing difficult unless you choose one of the unkempt paths. There are maps at key points so you dont get lost. Finding a parking may be the hardest thing to accomplish here.

So many trails, clean and there is no way to get lost. I am having the best time walking with my sister each day.

This is my favorite go to place for great trails, the beauty, peace & of course, nature. Ive seen porcupines, deer, rabbits, birds. Love this place!

A gem. How can you recommend a forest? The trails are well maintained if you want to go running, its generally not too crowded and if you want to feel a little lost you can do so with any of the back trails

I come here when I want to get a little exercise and when I dont want to fully lie when I tell people I went hiking this weekend or yeah, I do outdoorsy things because I live in Maine or no! I totally DONT just sit in front of my computer all day! I have a life outside Zoom!There are plenty of nature encounters to be had: trees, shrubs, rocks, moss, moss on rocks, and the ever ubiquitous wild dog poop that wasnt cleaned up properly.These trails are are beginner to intermediate level... So theyre actually enjoyable to walk on. I dont need to punish myself with an advanced level trail.

Beautiful easy trails, friendly people and dogs. So quiet and piney...

The day I went here I unfortunately wasnt able to do a full walk around. However the are I did walk thru made me want to go back. The only negative I would say were the number of horse-flies. They were terrible! Had to literally run out of there. But like I said look forward to coming back.

Best public park in the greater Bangor area. Great for biking. They even have tight narrow roads for more adventurous ones.

Its beautiful and old

Love City Forest! Its a great place to go for a quiet walk with tons of trails! Bike and dog friendly!

Nice area. Easy gravel trails. Wooded . If you are looking for a challenging hike this is not the place.

My favorite place to run and bike in the area. Easy to follow maps and beautiful forest all around.Bring bugspray if you are going there, especially if youll be walking/not moving fast.

A great place to take the family. Lots of trails and some wild animals my family and I have seen a porcupine a few snakes and some frogs

Very large for a city forest. Wish I lived closer to use it more often.

This is a really wonderful and peaceful place

Really nice place to visit on a nice day. Even know that this place isnt that big you can still enjoy the out doors on borrowed time. Its also good for the kids to get out and explore.

So disappointed that it was closed due to covid-19! There is absolutely a way to social distance on the boardwalk and I disagree that there is not. The boardwalk for me is a place to escape and feel like everything can be better.

Everyone should go here! Kid and dog friendly with many well-marked trails of variable length. Flat and suitable for mountain/fat biking. Not unusual to see a porcupine or two. Theres also an informative bog walk.

Bangor City Forest is beautiful ! Nice place to go for a walk with your family.

Large area with lots of trails! Beautiful area that looks well maintained.

Very nice woods and graveled walkways. Looked well maintained. There were bogs off the walkway and many mosquitoes. Trails were well marked and easy to follow.

Well maintained, wide trails in the forest. (Wear mosquito repellent.) Also a boardwalk into the bog.

My dog and I love this place. Good for jogging, xc skiing, snowshoeing, or exploring nature and plants. The board walk is nice.

Amazing place to go to enjoy nature, and a great place for kids to run out all their energy

Amazing views and foliage. All the new flowers in bloom. Bog walk was the highlight...lots of great pictures.

Once your in the forest its quiet and peaceful.

Had a great time walking the trails with my son just talking it was so great

Absolutely amazing

Beautiful place to take a stroll! You can be out there for hours walking different trails and the bog walk is awesome. Construction taking place atm on the bog walk, it will be open May 15 2019 again. But the trails are still open so dont forget you dog!

One of the Hidden Treasures in the Bangor Area beautiful walking trails as well as mountain biking trails through the forest. Also has a decked walking trail out through the Orono bog spectacular views and a variety of unique plant and animal species. Parking is limited only only about 20 or 30 parking spots

Great hiking area!

A surprising, incredible treasure. Glad we drove out of the way to visit. Worth every second to see this worry, secluded place.

It’s a great place but this particular day it was challenging to stay on my feet. I didn’t have cleats to keep me from slipping on the icy crusted snow. The dog was ok with it and I didn’t fall but I’ll wait till the snow softens a bit before going on some of the trails.

Amazing place for a hike and capture some great pictures..

A great place near town for walking through the woods! Bring insect repellent.

Walk the bog boardwalk for an amazing bog experience. More pitcher plants than I have seen anywhere. Bring mosquito repellent!

Wonderful experience, but dont forget your bug spray.

Great spot for a hike, bike ride, or just a walk. Right in the heart of Bangor lots of trees and bugs. Especially ticks check your pets and your clothes after you leave.

Nice walk. Improved trails and roads are nice and easy. Unimproved trails are fun to explore. Great area for individuals, families and friends.

Awesome Place to take the Kids, Dont forget the Bug Spray (:

I love exploring the city forest. Great way to get outdoors for a quick walk when you dont have the energy to go on a long journey. Bog walk is great, trails around the forest are wonderful.

Its beautiful, well maintained, and free

Took the pup out to the Bangor City Forest walking trails.The trails are dog friendly, the bog walk isnt.A good place to walk for a while for beginners and a great place to go long distance for avid outdoor runners.I love that its always clean so we dont have to worry about our puppy eating garbage.There are even puppy vault bags provided near the entrance to ensure the Forest stays clean.My wife, puppy, and I love these trails.

Fun place for grandkids to run off energy.

Really liked this park. Could have spent a lot more time here. Lots of trails with varying degrees of difficulty

Well maintained trails, always fun to be had

Always wonderful - so peaceful! - and my new dog loves it! There are lots of trail options.

Fantastic local area to walk. Close by and lots of parking available.

Absolutely love the walking trails. Keep missing the bog hours or it’s just too crowded to get a bog walk in, but the trails are stunning so it’s all good. Couldn’t find where to post concerns, but while out walking last night, my family took the deer trail and coming back down the trail leading to the parking; I believe it was “K”, there is an area that appears to be drainage that is exposed and damaged with gaping holes and is soft when pressure is applied. Be cautious; a pet or a person could be injured if unsuspecting.

Its beautiful and a nice easy walk.

Love walking the trails here with my dog

Love it. Huge place to walk and enjoy nature

Cool place great walk.

One of our favorite family spots! Beautiful place to enjoy nature.

Wonderfully groomed trails; great for families. My only complaint (which is simply me being selfish) is that dogs arent allowed on the boardwalk (I do understand why). We love to bring our doggos to the city forest, but were bummed we can enjoy the boardwalk while theyre with us.

The kids and I Loved it, as always!

Great for hiking, biking, jogging. Just out of town but feels like another world. Another big part of what makes Bangor a great place to live!

This is a great trail system however the driveway and parking lots are in such bad shape that I will sometimes avoid going there because I dont feel like being jostled around as I try and navigate all the pits and potholes. Honestly, it is a popular, high traffic park so it is pretty inexcusable that this issue continues to persist and get worse.

Beautiful forest with very well maintained trails. Awesome experience.

Bangor City Forest is a lovely place, and a great area to walk around and relax in nature. Lots of trails, well made paths and lots of trees make this a place anyone can (and should!) enjoy.

Wonderful, relaxing place for a run. I stopped in and ran the 4 mile east-west loop. Very well maintained trail and so peaceful - great spot to relax!

Lots of trails to choose from. There are multiple places to park and access the trail system. The parking lot off Tripp Dr. can be overcrowded so I would avoid that one. If youre looking for a quick walk the bog walk is just a little over a mile.

Cute park with some good walking and single track trails. Beautiful and well maintain, but don’t expect hills.

Great place to walk! Being the dog here an he loves it. They have signs throughout to show where you are an all the trails. Bog is nice to!!

We love walking these paths and trails

Great place to chill out and go for a walk. Road in could use some repairs though

Beautiful walk through the beautiful Maine woods. Lots of trails to explore and the famous Orono Big Walk is located here! Lots of history for a 16000 year old boy.

An abundance of varied trails. Lots of wildlife.

I like to walk the loop before I go to work

One of my favorite places to take my dog for a walk. It is well kept all year long and is absolutely beautiful during the fall.

Great trails you can feel like youre in the woods in the middle of bangor

Great place to be?

A little gem of a trail system very close to the mall area

You can enjoy the peaceful, beautiful walk on the Orono Bog Boardwalk in the sun or on the Bangor City Forest trails in the shade. I, myself, love the fall breeze and colors on these trails.

Beautiful and well maintained trail network, the bog walk was lovely and very photogenic and seinic. I was fun identifying and spotting all the various plants.

Beautiful place to walk. Always enjoy time with my family here.

Absolutely love the bog walk. Easily accessible with stroller. Bathrooms available. Beautiful place to visit. Free!

Very beautiful and a lot of trails love the boardwalk and the donation area is awesome that people are able to donate one complaint bring bug spray LOL very heavy Deep Woods mosquitoes

Great place for a walk. Good spot for your Dog. I always bring bags for my dogs wast. Not sure if it can be walked in the winter but I will check the next time Im in Bangor.

Its a great place to hike instead of driving 1-2 hours to Acadia.

Lovely walk through the woods. Well marked trails. We were there at the beginning of April so plenty ice still around.

Went for a run and The trails are very well defined. Beuatiful atmosphere.

Beautiful trails. Very clean and well maintained. Also dog friendly. We did carry in our own bags for dog waste, and made sure to carry out what we brought in. A great place to spend an hour or a day.

Its awesome. Very clean. Great afternoon jog.

Great walking trails and even the Orono bog boardwalk is accessible from here great place to walk even with kids. We bring our 2year old and all have a good time, just dont forget the bug spray LoL

The big walk and the trails are great to explore. If you bring dogs, keep them on their leash.

Excellent hiking and walking Park still a forest with beautiful pathways that are kept natural with roots and rocks and intersected with man-made trails an absolute gem suitable for children and adults inexperienced or experienced hikers

Great parking and pathways

Well marked & groomed trails, dog friendly!

How can you not be happy walking in nature.

Would have been 5 stars, but... the dogs. I admit its better than it used to be: at least some people got the memo to put the dog on a leash.

Awesome walk!

The trails are great and well groomed.

Wonderful variety of wildlife and natural right up the street from the city!

Beautiful day, perfect for a bike ride. Unfortunately, the filler that they used had big rocks in it so that made for a rough ride!

Outstanding place to get excercise and enjoy the scenery.
