With Stream Crossings and Footbridges, The Little-Known Peggity’s Path In Maine Is Unexpectedly Magical
Have you been looking for a hike that not many people take? There’s a lot to say about this little-known hiking trail in Maine, but Peggity’s Path is charming in its own way. Out here, it’s just you and the trees enjoying a day in the sun. Doesn’t that sound amazing? This is a bucket list item for when you need to be alone for a while.
Out in the stunning McLellan-Poor Preserve, you'll find a little trail called Peggity's Path. This quiet little trail isn't very popular compared to other areas, so there is a good chance you can enjoy the peace and quiet of a trail alone.
The trail covers 1.4 miles of beautiful forest scenery, crossing the water on little footbridges. The path isn't too hard to traverse, with only 160 feet of elevation gain over the whole trail.
Even in the winter, this beautiful loop trail is simply stunning. If you can handle a little hike in the snow, you'll get to enjoy some incredible winter scenery.
As long as you're prepared for the weather here, this trail is ready to be hiked, even if you have to use snowshoes. Snow has never bothered Maine before, anyways.
Though the average hike time is around 35 minutes, you'll find that sightseeing and wildlife spotting can double or triple that time. It's only a mile and a half long, but exploring makes the time fly.
Whether you hike alone, with a group, or with your leashed dogs, this trail is a little bit of quiet that you can really enjoy. Remember, it's just you and the trees ready for a nice day in the sun.
