1 Best Sight in The Mid-Coast Region, Maine

Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park

A few minutes' drive from downtown Freeport, 5 miles of trails thread through this 200-plus-acre preserve, tracing the edges of Casco Bay, the Harraseeket River, and a salt marsh. It's an excellent place to view nesting ospreys. A park naturalist leads regularly scheduled, one-hour nature walks. There are picnic tables and a shelter with grills; overnight camping is prohibited. In winter, the trails are great for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
