Cliff Trail

A nice little loop trail that should be manageable for most people. You can park behind the Townhall and one trail head is right on the parking lot. The other trail head is up above the parking lot closer to the transfer station. After a heavy rain the night before it was, a little bit bulky and lots of mosquitoes inland. Some of the trail in the woods is not terribly well marked either. A great trail to bring the pup. The color of the water is pretty remarkable!

This place was a wonderful find for my husband, myself, and our dog (big plus!) We spent the day checking out points of interest in the area and this one intrigued us. We started directly behind the town hall which puts you out near the recycling facility. The woods and trails were absolutely beautiful. Lots of soft moss, ground cover, rocks, roots, and just interesting terrain. It was very icy on a winter day but what a treat to have this place entirely to ourselves. The walk along the cliff is absolutely breathtaking, worth the hike and visit alone. But if you enjoy hiking be sure to do the whole loop. We saw Henry's lookout and luckily were able to complete the loop and come out in the back opposite corner of the town hall lot. They've done a lot of trail work on the portion that starts in the corner of the lot. They've put down crushed rock, covered it with gravel and made a large well manicured walking path along the water. They also built beautiful new bridges. I would definitely recommend this place, but do know the hiking does require some careful stepping with the varying terrain and if you have little ones or dogs be careful on the cliff walk portion of the trail as it's a very large drop off. We can't wait to come back and see it in the summer

Nice solo weekend hike for me. White markings were not my favorite as it was easy to stray off. Difficulty level is on the lower end of moderate. I am happy with the cliff walk views, though majority would be walking through the woods which means not much sun. Get a nice pair of hiking boots and some bug spray, you should be ready to go.

Omg! The views are worth every step along this amazing trail! I would love to live near this place. I would visit often. The trail was very icey the day we went,but Sooo worth the trip. Micro spikes for sure. I can't wait to revisit this place and have a nice afternoon lunch on the cliff. Parking is perfect with lots of extra spaces. A newly redone trail on the left makes for an easy walk to some beautiful views.

Nice trails up & down and a nice view at the top. I would like to say what a beautiful job the town of Harpswell did in making part of the trail accessible for the Handicapped with large lookout platforms at certain points. Hats off to the Contractor and / or anyone that donated their time that made this new section for everyone to enjoy.
