The CBTA is working to create a 72-mile off-road trail in southern Maine. cascobaytrail.org/progress

More exciting progress! Last night, the city of Portland and the town of North Yarmouth both approved signing the Casco Bay Trail Board of Supervisors Interlocal Agreement: https://cascobaytrail.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/auburn-signed_cbta-interlocal-agreement_5.5.26-1.pdf.

That means six municipalities are now part of a new regional advisory group that will help plan the trail—from north to south: Auburn, New Gloucester, North Yarmouth, Yarmouth, Falmouth, and Portland.

Portland took another big step forward by supporting a resolution to provide a $12,000 local match to the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT) for an engineering study of the Portland-to-Yarmouth portion of the trail.

We couldn’t be more pleased about these advances. Thank you to everyone who has spoken up for the trail in their city or town!

June 1 brought a double dose of good news, as the towns of New Gloucester and Falmouth both approved signing the Casco Bay Trail Interlocal Agreement. They join Auburn and Yarmouth on a regional group to collaborate on planning the Casco Bay Trail!

Auburn leads the way!

We’re thrilled to share the news that Auburn is the first municipality to approve the Casco Bay Trail Board of Supervisors Interlocal Agreement. This is an exciting step toward collaboration between the cities and towns along the Auburn to Portland stretch of the Trail as we work toward making this vision a reality.

✨ Nearly 90 people joined us tonight in North Yarmouth for a film screening of PBS’s “From Rails to Trails” and we are so grateful.

From Portland to Auburn to Freeport, our communities showed up because they believe in the vision of the Casco Bay Trail: a safe, connected, off-road trail linking us all.

Across the country, abandoned rail lines have become thriving community trails. With your support, we can make that happen here too. We’re a small organization with a big vision — and tonight reminded us we’re not alone.

🎥 Here's a link to the film for anyone who couldn’t attend: https://www.pbs.org/show/from-rails-to-trails/
