Eastern Trail Alliance Our Vision.......... Imagine walking - or biking - mostly through off-road woodland trails from Strawberry Banke in Portsmouth, New Hampshire to Bug Light Park on Casco Bay in South Portland. |
| Eastern Trail The vision, will be a mostly off-road Greenway, free from noise and air pollution, where Maine families and visitors of all skill levels will enjoy Maine's quiet natural grassy surface part of the trail beauty. ET, the vision, will follow the corridor of the nearly forgotten, historic Eastern Railroad, the first rail line connecting Portland with Boston. The vision is becoming reality. South Portland's Greenbelt, complete nearly from Casco Bay to the Scarborough town line, is part of the Eastern Trail. Scarborough Marsh will soon be crossed by a new 2.4 mile section of the off-road ET. The ET is also the Southern Maine section of the East Coast Greenway that will connect Calais, Maine with Key West, Florida. |

| Maine. The route begins near Maine's New Hampshire border in Kittery, a town known as an outlet-shopping mecca. Some notable diversions as the trail heads north include Vaughn Woods State Park, along the Piscataqua River in South Berwick; historic homes along Route 1 in Saco; the wide sandy beaches of Old Orchard Beach; and Scarborough Marsh, where you can get off your bike and into a canoe for a few hours. The route ends at Bug Light Park in South Portland, with its stunning views of Portland Harbor in Casco Bay. |
