This Magical River Walk In Maine Will Transport You To Another World
Maine is full of forest, but that doesn’t mean you need to immerse yourself in the trees to have a head-clearing experience. There are lots of places here that will allow you to enjoy the breeze and take some time for yourself, without having to head to rural spots without cell service. A great option is this trail in southern Maine located right in the center of town.
The Westbrook River Walk is a 1.2-mile walkway hidden behind the buildings of the town.
The trail begins in Riverbank Park which offers live music and other events. This is a great place to take in some of the fun perks that come with living in Westbrook.
But you'll also find falls along the way. The route also offers a good glimpse into the area that once played an important role in the town's mill history.
The Westbrook River Walk is gorgeous any time of year, but fall is especially lovely. Make sure to time your visit with peak fall foliage in Maine and you'll be in for a real treat!
