There’s only one way to truly appreciate the great outdoors here in Maine and that’s by getting outside and experiencing it. That doesn’t mean you need to conquer the highest peak, though. There are plenty of places to visit that provide the calm that comes with fresh air without spending hours heading uphill. Some of the best trails, including this one, can be found in out-of-the-way areas of Maine.
There are places hidden in Maine that can only be found by those devoted to loving this place. The Frank E. Woodworth Preserve in Harrington is one of those places.

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.
