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” feels very far away we’re going to keep on planning our summer weekends just in case. At some point, the days of waking up to windshields covered in ice have to end, right? Assuming they do, this hike is one of the most fun in Southern Maine. It’s easy, provides water views and leads to one of the most fun little attractions in the state!

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