Camden Parks and Recreation | Snow Bowl

The Camden Parks and Recreation Department manages and/or maintains more than 700 acres of town property and several facilities including parks and numerous trailheads, overlooks, sections of the Riverwalk – the (former) tannery property, various boat launches, and the Camden Snow Bowl facility and grounds.

During the winter months, Camden Parks and Recreation staff operate and maintain the Snow Bowl, which is open for skiing and snowboarding. The season usually runs from Christmas vacation week through the end of March. The Snow Bowl is also home to the Jack Williams Toboggan Chute and the annual U.S. National Toboggan Championships, held the first week in February. The toboggan chute is also open to the public when conditions permit, including adequate ice on Hosmer Pond.

The Kuller Trail, located adjacent to the ski trails and above the toboggan chute, is an unstaffed, multi-use trail that winds through the woods.

It connects to the Goose River trail network, traverses through the Ragged Mountain Preserve and is one of the trailheads for the Round the Mountain Trail, managed by Coastal Mountains Land Trust. A year-round trail, Kuller is open to the public for winter hiking, snowshoeing, Nordic skiing and fat tire mountain biking.

There is no fee to use the Kuller Trail; it is groomed on occasion and reliant on natural snow. The Snow Bowl offers daily snowshoe rentals only for use on the Kuller Trail. The Trailforks mobile app is a popular database for a variety of trail uses.

Ragged Mountain Recreation Area offers a ball field, tennis courts, a boat launch and a swimming dock with ADA access for canoes and kayaks on Hosmer Pond. There are a variety of hiking trails, including more than one route to the summit with incredible views of Penobscot Bay, the islands and the surrounding mountains and hillsides. The Snow Bowl has also become a wildly popular mountain biking venue, with a host of bike trails designed and maintained by mountain staff, members of Midcoast Maine New England Mountain Biking Association, members and volunteers with Coastal Mountains Land Trust and volunteers from the biking and general community.
