The Views From The Incredible 2.7-Mile Bold Coast Trail In Maine Are Pretty As A Picture
Explore the Bold Coast Trail in Cutler, Maine, for a scenic and varied hiking experience.
No matter the season, getting outside in Maine is always a good idea. That means sledding, skiing, fishing, hiking or even just walking. It can mean anything you want! But if you're looking for something extra-special make your way to Cutler and the Bold Coast trail to enjoy one of the most incredible trails in the state. Not near the region? We promise it's worth the trip!
One of the most beautiful regions of the state is Downeast! While the area might be a bit off-the-beaten-path for some it's certainly worth the trip!
This section of Maine is home to the Cutler Coast Public Reserved Land, a 12,334-acre swath of the state offering some seriously incredible nature.
With 4.5 miles of headlands that sit looking out over the Bay of Fundy, the Cutler Coast offers some of the best outdoor experiences you can find.
One of those is the Bold Coast Trail!
The 2.7-mile hike leads visitors through the forest and to the cliffs at the shore. This makes for one of the most scenic trails in the state.
While the route is considered "moderate," it's not impossible. The rating is primarily due to the rocky edges. The good news? There's minimal elevation gain.
The trail is well-marked and the out-and-back set-up makes it easy to find your way back to the trailhead. On a sunny day, the views are incredible.
And they're just as breathtaking when conditions are foggy and grey. If you love the variety that Maine weather can offer, you'll really appreciate how different this route can be each time to take it.
And whenever you choose to make the trip, try to incorporate a sunrise or sunset. You won't be sorry!
