Beautiful views! Its incredibly peaceful and calm here (at least on the Scarborough Marsh / Audubon side where these pics were taken.. its a very long trail.) There are typically other people and a lot of bicyclists that travel this part of the trail though, so its not the best spot if youre looking for some alone time with mother nature. Enjoy the scenery; its worth visiting!
The Eastern Trail is a lovely place to walk. Its 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.
We come here very often because its so beautiful and its 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.
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.
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.
I love this trail, meet good folks and camp out in the wild overnights
Amazing but crowded
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 its wide open so bring warm clothes.
Great place to kayak, fishing, and a trail you can bike or walk
Gorgeous and saw so much wild life
Great place to walk or bike or jogMiles long trail.
Nice trail for walking, biking and fishing
Always a good time whether we are cycling, waking or on a nature watch. One of the best ways to spend a day!
The saco marshes are beautiful, but go any length in any direction and there are a lack of sights to see. One direction brings you to a condo development, the other, behind peoples junk laden backyards. Was disappointed with the sack section, save the marshes.
Great place to walk or bike ride outdoors. Great place to be in nature. I bike and walk the trail regularly.
The Eastern Trail through Scarborough Marsh is great for walking, biking and Birding.
New guy defaulted to meal when just burger and tap water ordered, reluctant to refund. Insisted on refund, manager gave free burger. Burger wasnt fresh, sitting a bit. Like Wendys but have had better experiences.
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 dont let that discourage you. Beautiful marsh views and lots of wildlife to see...take a camera with u!
Beautiful all around
Simply a great place to walk and view marsh land.
Riding my dirt bike at 50 miles an hour and almost hitting little kids
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.
Nice trail with crossing signals when you have to cross major roads. Trail surface is hard packed dirt or gravel.
Good place for a walk. A mix of woods and marsh. Lots of benches to sit on along the path. Smartly placed near shade trees. Weekday morning when I went it was very busy, lots of pedestrian and bike traffic. Decent size parking lot. Lot was mostly full on arrival earlier in the morning but a number of spaces were available later in the morning.
Scenic and great place to get some walking or biking in.
This is a hidden jewel in southern Maine
It was very peaceful and easy to walk on. I like it.
A great walking trail or biking trial. Major bonus points for being stroller friendly.
Great trail riding for bikes horses or just a stroll
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.
This is a great trail for kids, as there are many sections without any road riding at all. It is flat and wide. The section through Scarborough goes through a marsh which had great bird watching. The section into South Portland is congested and not as nice as the Saco-Scarborough section.
Nice place to take a walk very relaxing
Wonderful Bike ride
Great walk through the marshes
I have done the trail from Kennebunk to South Portland. The off road sections are a nice get away and I recommend. The on road sections are sketchy. Looking forward to when its all off road.
A piece of Maine beauty
Natural beauty.
Beautiful trail along the marshes and into the trees. Mainly flat, gravel. Excellent day of biking.
Great for the whole family.
Beautiful walk on a pleasant day . lots of marshy scenes within bords. some wooded area too. easy walking.
Great place for a walk as well as viewing wild life.
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.
Quiet ride and beautiful scenery.
Cool place
This trail is great. Can run, walk, bike. Woods and marsh views.
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 walk or bike
Great area to walk or hike. Very little long trail, but it has many places to park and goes through many towns.
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.
Lots of birds to see here if you are quiet and patient
Nice trail
Beautiful sunset walk on the marsh
What an amazing & peaceful place to take a stroll ... definitely worth a visit and pet friendly
Part of the East Coast Greenway, the Eastern Trail goes from South Portland to Kittery. Its a fun, flat walk with great scenery. You can walk, run, or bike.
Nice gradual decent and acent. Misting the woods. Very ceanic wakk, run, or bike.
Terrific resource for our area. Hiking or biking and dogs are welcome on the trail.
Great scenic trail. Bring big spray. Not kidding.
Love it beautiful place.
Nice straight level trail lots of birds to see.
Always a good little spot for a walk. One direction is Marsh and the other is woods.
Absolutely beautiful views!
Easy riding hard to follow once your in bideford.
Love the walk and the views are spectacular
Good straight flat trail. Perry boring, and where it goes through the marsh, it stinks
