The Eastern Trail

Great trail for casual easy-going walks. Flat straight gravel path with no hills to climb and dog-friendly. Plenty of birds and stunning views of the marshes. From the Pine Point Rd. trailhead you can either head North into Scarborough or South (across the street from the parking lot) where the trail continues for miles and miles. Either way is awesome! Can get very windy and cold if you choose to go North through the marsh in the spring/winter/fall as it's wide open so bring warm clothes.

Beautiful scenery with lots of birds and flowers. Trail passes through salt marsh and wooded areas. It used to be a rail bed, so it is nice and level. You can even bring your dog, just keep them on a leash

This is one of the best places to go when you’ve had a stressful day and need to get away. The Eastern Trail is a well-maintained trail that makes for a good walk/bike/ski and offers beautiful views of the marsh and its wildlife. If you’re a professional or budding ornithologist, I highly recommend you grab your best zoom lens and lurk out here a while. You’re sure to capture some stunning photos of a multitude of birds. I’ve also had friends see a rare seal in the area, too, but unfortunately I am cursed to never see a seal in my life.

A great place to go for a walk,run or bike ride in the summer.You can see alot of different species of birds.You can walk through the marsh area or woods.

Highly recommend! Something for everyone! Walk, bike, hike, kayak, bird watch, fish, photography, furry friends, read...

The Eastern Trail is practically in our backyard and we regularly use it for walking and bike riding. The busiest part is along the Scarborough Marsh but if you continue South towards Saco becomes quieter and more woodsy. There isn't a section of the Eastern trail that we don't love.

Really enjoyed it just wish when we had to use the road it was wider

Great place for a walk. It can get a bit crowded with other walkers. Most people biking are awesome and careful. Have encountered some "mouthy" brats that should ride elsewhere. But don't let that discourage you. Beautiful marsh views and lots of wildlife to see...take a camera with u!

Nice bike ride in old orchard beach

The Eastern Trail is a lovely place to walk. It's very popular with biking. What I like most about the trail is that it is easy on and off. You are not committed to doing long distances, and can do it in segments, however if you want to go long distances you have that option.

Scenic walk, great for walking, biking, jogging.

Great place for a stroll with a dog, a group, or alone. With the weather starting to get nicer this is the perfect time of year to come and check out this gorgeous place.

Wonderful view and just nicely removed from everything.

Also a great shortcut for cutting across the marsh when on foot or biking.

We come here very often because it's so beautiful and it's right on the beach we can spend hours walking the trail and just enjoying the view. It is very clean and very well taken care of. We come here because we know that it is safe for the kids as well.

What a breathtaking experience walking this trail. Well-kept and safe, we appreciate the diverse views walking in the Saco area. Cyclists are (mostly) polite, though most ignore the no cycling over the bridge policy.

This is section of the trail goes through the Scarborough Marsh Wildlife Management area. It is very scenic and provides good opportunities for bird watching as well as jogging or cycling.

The Eastern Trail is a lovely mostly gravel rail trail that can be easily ridden on with a road bike or hybrid. It drains well after rain comes through so it can probably be ridden when other trails may still be wet.

Great place for a walk. Mile markers tò let you know how far you have gone. We even saw a family of ducks cross the trail.

Part of the East Coast Greenway, the Eastern Trail goes from South Portland to Kittery. It's a fun, flat walk with great scenery. You can walk, run, or bike.

Great running, walking, biking, commuting...

This is a good place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday mundane stuff that you have to deal with. Nature is the best way to heal your spirit.
