The Bond Brook Recreation Area is a 17 mile trail system for hikers, mountain bikers, Nordic skiers, snowshoers, bird-watchers and trail runners on 268 acres of city owned land right in the heart of Augusta, stretching from Bond Brook to the airport. It is free and open to the public.
Day to day access is through the back of Mount Hope Cemetery on Winthrop Street, adjacent to the Public Works Facility on North Street and an access road on Bond Brook Road off of Civic Center Drive.
