1, originating from the I-295 exit 15 southbound park and ride lot, crosses the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad and Portland Street and ends at West Elm Street. It will eventually connect major neighborhoods, including Oakwood, Applewood and the new (as of 2017) McKearney Village. Unlike the original phase, which was designed for single-track mountain biking and single-file walking or running, the second allows for universal access, thanks to a gravel track. This section also follows the power lines. Phase three Hillside Avenue and Greely Road are the planned connecting points to growing trail networks in North Yarmouth and Cumberland, as well as the Twin Brooks recreation area and the new Knight's Pond Reserve. Crossing of active railroad tracks at Yarmouth Junction on Greely Road present "considerable safety and cost issues." In January 2022, the RRCT's board voted unanimously to donate $5000 toward the campaign to complete "The Last Mile" of the trail, which would take it past Twin Brooks.
