One of the best ways to recharge your batteries is by disconnecting from technology for a little while. However, that doesn’t mean you need to plan a full digital detox vacation. For anyone staying at Newagen Seaside Inn this summer, put your phone down for a little while and enjoy quality time with loved ones. There are countless ways to do just that, including exploring some of the best Maine coastal hikes near Boothbay Harbor.
A Checklist of 5 Midcoast Maine Hiking Trails
Midcoast Maine is home to breathtaking scenery. Take a break from taking in the views from the water and surround yourself with Mother Nature’s beauty on a hiking trail. There are paths for all ages and skill levels.
- Make your way down to the Hendricks Head Beach and hike along the trails inside Hendricks Head Preserve. Catch glimpses of the beach as you explore forest trails.
- Located within the wetland area of Linekin Neck in East Boothbay is Ocean Point Preserve. Here, you can find the .2-mile Golden Crowned Kinglet Trail, which leads to a prime wetland viewing area.
- One of the best coastal hiking spots in the area is Oak Point Farm, located on more than 2,000 feet of Hodgdon Cove coastline. Both the mile-long loop and .6-mile trail take you along the extensive waterfront.
- Take in views of the Sheepscot River as you hike inside Porter Preserve. The 1.1-mile path includes several benches overlooking cliffs and ledge rocks. There’s even a sheltered cove with a small beach.
- Make your way to the mudflats and shoreline of the Cross River on the 1-mile loop inside the Cross River Preserve. The route takes you along a freshwater stream and wetlands.
