It’s Impossible Not To Love This Breathtaking Wild Flower Trail In Maine
One could certainly argue that each and every trail and path in Maine are beautiful and worth the visit. We completely agree! But each one also comes with a different element of beauty. Some offer sweeping ocean views from the coast. Others come with forest canopies that are so green visitors might feel like they’re in a movie. Most offer a great way to clear the mind and enjoy the breeze. The one featured here is no different. In addition to lots of beauty, this hike will lead to some stunning wildflowers.
Alewive Woods Preserve in Kennebunk offers a fantastic way to enjoy fresh Maine air as well as forest and ponds. But we love it for one additional reason!
The route, which is well-marked, can get a bit uneven in places. There are also some exposed roots, so you'll want to be sure you're confident on your feet if you choose to explore this route.
The wildflowers can be found all along the trail. While they're not everywhere, the fact that you'll need to keep your eyes open to find them makes it even more fun.
Alewive Woods Preserve can be accessed throughout the year, but always be cautious when walking or hiking in the winter as there may be ice and snow. The elevation gain here is minimal, so beginners will enjoy this. Don’t forget the pups! They’re welcome here as long as they’re kept on a leash. For more information check out the Kennebunk Land Trust website. You can learn more about hitting the trails on Maine Trail Finder or alltrails.com.
Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
