Escape To Witherle Woods For A Beautiful Maine Nature Scene
It would be easy to say that “these days” we love exploring new areas of Maine to soak up the beauty. But the reality is that we want to do this “all days.” That’s because there’s just so much to see and enjoy here. No matter the season, no matter the weather, we crave a good trip outside to clear our heads, find some peace and remember just why we keep on keeping on. If you’re of the same mindset, make your way to this beautiful area.
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. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
To find Witherle Woods Preserve make your way to Castine, located in Hancock County.
Thankfully, things are significantly quieter than they must have been way back then! Today the preserve offers 185 acres of woodland with plentiful views.
From the trailhead, you'll find a map to guide you through the routes. Always be mindful of the weather, but this is one network of trails that's beautiful no matter what the conditions. You just need to be open to the beauty of Maine, which means appreciating foggy air just as you would clear skies.
Witherle Woods can be visited year-round, just be sure to exercise some extra care when visiting when conditions are cold and icy. You can learn more about the area and check out the hikes you can take by visiting the Maine Coast Heritage Trust website. You can also learn more about hiking the area by checking out alltrails.com and Maine Trail Finder.
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.
