BRIDGTON — The Loon Echo Land Trust will hold the 11th annual Loon Echo Trek at Shawnee Peak on Saturday, Sept. 17. The Trek is their single biggest one-day fundraiser each year and offers something for everyone.

Whether a serious cyclist, recreational hiker or friendly volunteer, the Trek unites people who care about land conservation. The goal this year is to raise more than $50,000 towards the annual operating budget so beloved places like Pleasant Mountain, Pondicherry Park and Hacker’s Hill can be preserved for future generations.

This fall, enjoy either a stunning six-mile “taste trek” across the ridge of Pleasant Mountain or cycle 25, 50 or 100 miles through Western Maine. All routes promise breathtaking scenery, supported rest stops and spirited volunteers.
