Welcome to the Eastern Trail
Southern Maine’s Multi-Use Greenway
The Eastern Trail is both a trail and a vision.
The Eastern Trail has 22 off-road miles from Bug Light (in South Portland) to Kennebunk, as well as a scenic on-road route that mostly follows quiet country roads. Experienced bike riders and hikers can enjoy a beautiful journey from South Portland’s Bug Light Park on Casco Bay (near Portland) to Kittery’s Piscataqua River.
The vision to create the Eastern Trail started in the early 1990’s, led by John Andrews and several others. More on that early history here.
Today, to complete this vision, we are aggressively developing plans and funds to both close a critical 1.6-mile gap between South Portland and Scarborough and then add 19 miles between Kennebunk and South Berwick.
Your support will help us get there.

Notice: The closed section of the ET in Saco between the John Andrews Bridge and Cascade Rd. will open for this weekend (Sept 12 and 13). However, due to ongoing gas line maintenance the same section in Saco will be closed again all next week (Sept 14-18). Thank you for respecting the closures and being patient; the more we all stay out of the way, the quicker the trail will reopen.
Get out and enjoy the Saco section, as well as the rest of the trail, this weekend during the last day of the Maine Lighthouse Experience. Help support the trail! Visit www.easterntrail.org for more information.
Anyone else heading out tomorrow for the 25 mile ride - I know it's now a do your own thing ride, but me and a friend from work are heading out tomorrow to follow the 25 mile route....Who else is?
