Rumford Community Forest Located on an unnamed 1,374-foot hill on the north side of Rumford, the Rumford Community Forest, owned by Inland Woods + Trails, currently offers three trails that opened in 2025. The forest features options for all ability levels. The Scotty Brook Trail is a 0.2-mile ADA-accessible loop trail starting from the parking lot, well built with a gravel surface, switchbacks, and extensive bench cuts that winds through the forest and passes near Scotty Brook. For hiking, the Rumford Adventure Trail is a more traditional hiking trail forming a lollipop loop through relatively young forest with easy grades, about 1.1 miles total from the trailhead and back. The Porcupine Ridge Trail branches off from the Rumford Adventure Trail and extends 1.2 miles from the trailhead to a viewpoint. The property’s conservation values include Scotty Brook and its associated wetlands, extensive beaver ponds, a black ash swamp, and large hemlock near the brook.
