RANGELEY – The Rangeley Region Guides and Sportsmen’s Association officially opened the Tim Baker Nature Trail on Thursday, June 16.
Tim’s wife, Cathy Baker, cut the ribbon surrounded by her family. Four years ago, Elaine Holcombe, RRG&SA

The 0.4 mile trail is located adjacent to the RRG&SA Clubhouse and pond and is open to the public seven days a week during daylight hours. Additional information, including a map and description of the trail, can be found on the Club’s website
