A Trail Full Of Fore River Views In Portland Will Lead You To A Waterfall Paradise In Maine
Another day, another unbeatable Maine trail that leads through the most impressive scenery in New England! You’d need years to explore all the trails here and that can often feel overwhelming. That’s why we like prioritizing the ones that offer a little something extra. Trails that lead to a beautiful natural feature are always high on our list, but add tons of beauty along the way and you’ve got a hike that you’ll want to do as soon as possible!
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

The Fore River Sanctuary in Portland offers a beautiful way to disappear into nature without having to venture out of the city.
The Fore River Sanctuary White Trail is just over 3 miles and includes a relatively flat and well-maintained surface. Markers are easy to find, making this a stress-free journey.
It's fun to see the waterfall and explore the rocks at the base. Once you've had enough time here, simply continue along the loop to make your way back to the trailhead.
This is a beautiful way to escape into nature in Portland and the river views coupled with the waterfall make for a lovely day out.
The Fore River Sanctuary White Trail can be accessed year-round and it offers a different type of beauty in each season. You can learn more about it by visiting alltrails.com or Maine Trail Finder. Feel free to bring the pups, just make sure they’re on a leash.
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.
