As an avid Maine hiker I can’t say enough about these beautiful coastal trails! The Boothbay Region Land Trust (BRLT) maintains about 20 of these preserves located in Boothbay, Southport, Boothbay Harbor, Edgecomb, and includes preserves on three small islands. These trails are well marked, easy to follow, and provide free public parking. Very few of these trails provide restrooms. Trail navigation by foot ranges from easy to moderate. I love the blue green colors of the ocean water in this region; viewed from many of these trails. Scenery throughout these trails offer a wide variety of landscape including evergreen and deciduous forests, fields of wildflowers, marshes, beaches, rocky hills and cliffs, gorges, historical structures, etc. BRLT trails are teeming with wildlife including deer, waterfowl, seals. Overnight camping is not permitted. Tons of fishing opportunities accessible from many trails. Most of the footbridges and boardwalks are in excellent condition. Trailhead kiosks offer maps. Trail views of the Sheepscot, Ovens Mouth, and Damariscotta Rivers are gorgeous.
