The Beautiful Bridge Hike In Maine That Will Completely Mesmerize You

There are few things more wonderful than heading outside on a warm, sunny day in Maine to experience the great outdoors. While the promise of a "warm, sunny day in Maine" may seem overly-optimistic, we're going to keep on planning just in case. This bridge hike in Maine is one of the most fun things you can do on the southern coastline. It's easy, provides water views, and leads to one of the most fun little attractions in the state!

The Fisherman's Walk Trail is located in York, Maine. So if you have been looking for "Trails with bridges near me" then your very specific search request has been granted!

The easy path leads visitors from York Harbor Beach towards a unique bridge, passing the York River along the way.

Part of the fun of hiking in Maine is just how many places you can go and get completely different experiences. From the mountains to the sea Maine really does have alot going for it in the natural beauty department.

The views of the water are spectacular.

The trail is well maintained, with a mix of packed dirt and some gravel.

Most of it is easy enough for walkers of all ages.

And it makes its way past some of the most gorgeous homes in the area.

But, no views are better than the natural Maine landscape.

In the summer you'll find that flowers are out in full force on this perfect Maine trail.

Eventually, the path leads to a causeway passing over the York River.

This last portion of the path leads directly to Steedman Woods and...

The Wiggly Bridge!

As suspension bridges go, the wooden portion spans a teensy 75 feet, but when you walk, the entire thing bounces and wiggles!

While it's no longer allowed, jumping into the water was once a favorite activity. When I first heard about this suspension bridge hike near me, well I gathered the family in the car and took off. The way the bridge shifts and moves under your feet is a real blast and a highlight of the trail.

After hopping and jumping on the bridge, continue into the Steedman Woods for more beautiful trails.

And take a moment to enjoy the views. If you're lucky you may even catch one of the epic sunsets in the area.

The dotted line in this map shows the route leading across the water and towards Steedman Woods.

To access the trail, head to Route 103, where you can find parking off of York Street by the bridge. The bridge is just to the right. Look toward the left for the path leading to the Fisherman's Walk. This trail is incredible from enchanted woods, a wiggling bridge, and a seaside walk leading to a beach! This trail offers much variety in such a short walk, and we would highly recommend it. The best thing to do before you head out on the trail is to download the AllTrails Plus app and get the map for Fisherman's Walk Trail to Wiggly Bridge. Then you can keep track of where you are on this one-of-a-kind bridge hike in Maine. If you would like to continue farther, add the York Harbor Cliff Walk Trail.
