Visitors in wheelchairs and with strollers have done this walk successfully, but as with any trail you never know the condition of the terrain on any given day. You might want to scope things out before fully committing to the path.
Along the path there's a large structure that appears to be a cage. Children were told that the cage was once used for a gorilla who escaped to roam the woods. It wasn't uncommon for kids to get into the cage pretending to BE the gorilla, though most people quickly moved on to avoid any surprise gorilla visits! The truth is that it was a bear cages, used to entertain tourists in the 1950s.
This trail is maintained by the Saco Bay Trails. You can learn more about the organization on their website or on Facebook.
