– IN TOWN –
AROUND CASTINE
With wide streets, beautiful gardens, and famous elm trees, Castine provides a lovely backdrop for a short or long stroll. Add in the hill from the water to Battle Avenue, and you can experience a good hike with your scenery.
WITHERLE WOODS
Part of the Maine Coast Heritage Trust, the 193–acres of Witherle Woods features more than four miles of trails, gradually winding through the changing forests of this coastal preserve. You can see a map here, noting trails, uphill elevations, and historical sites.
If already in town, you can easily access it on foot; the map also notes parking locations. The preserve is open to the public during daylight hours throughout the year. Great for dog walks; just be careful during tick season!
