Sawin Hill Road

Gravel route from Sawin Hill Rd to Sawin Hill Rd, Bethel, Oxford County, Maine

"Starts out paved, then switches to gravel. While the map makes it look like you can connect to Picnic Hill, there's a territorial landowner who has a gate on Picnic Hill Rd. Best bet (and some nice views!) is to go up Dresser School Rd."

Picnic Hill Road

Gravel route from Hunts Corner Rd to Sawin Hill Rd, Bethel, Oxford County, Maine

"Well-graded until intersection with Hatstat Rd. Turns into a rough road/trail after Hatstat. There's a gate about half a mile further down. It's posted with "No Motorized Vehicles," but the landowner lives on the southern end of the road and will give you a hard time if he sees you. Plan accordingly."
