Meadowbrook Forest

Meadowbrook Forest

Meadowbrook Forest totals over 2,030 acres and extends from Rt 172 in Surry to Rt 1 in Ellsworth! There are over 11 miles of logging roads, including a 5 mile loop, that is ideal for walking, running, or biking (some sections of the road system are bumpy and rutted). Public access is available from both Surry and Ellsworth and we have placed “you are here” maps along the trail as there are several spur roads. We hope you enjoy this gorgeous property!
