Eastern Promenade Trail

👍👍 I have traveled this trail both by foot 👣 and by train 🚂. Next to the Marginal Way trail in Ogunquit Maine, this is one of the best waterfront trails I have walked on!
Google Maps actually takes you to the Marina entrance. The downtown entrance is further down.
Besides the incredible view of Casco...

Seeing ferries come and go, walking on East End Beach and waving to visitors riding on the historic Narrow Guage Railroad make...

Hinckley Park
Park
👍👍 I love this park. It is awesome that you can actually have your dog off leash. It's much bigger than one would think, there's tons of footpaths to walk. My grandfather actually built all of the bridges found there, so it has sentimental value, too. It's a great spot to snowshoe in the winter, as wel...

It has 3 zip lines and one of them is a seat with a restraint. It has a really tall rope climbing structure, wh...
