Parks and Facilities

Background

Trail users are invited to visit the trailhead and rest stop in the town of Machias.

This facility is a replica of a railroad depot built in the late 1890s. The depot once served a rail line, which today is the Centennial Trail.

Rent

The Machias Trailhead depot facility is available for rent as a picnic shelter.  Power, water, and picnic tables are available.  

 
Across the trail from the depot is a large picnic shelter and children's playground nestled under towering trees. Water and picnic tables are available.

Please note, water balloon and sidewalk chalk activities are prohibited.
