Experienced bike riders and hikers can enjoy a beautiful journey from South Portland’s Bug Light Park on Casco Bay (near Portland) to Kittery’s Piscataqua River. The vision to create the Eastern Trail started in the early 1990’s, led by John Andrews and several others. More on that early history here. Today, to complete this vision, we are aggressively developing plans and funds to both close a critical 1.6-mile gap between South Portland and Scarborough and then add 19 miles between Kennebunk and South Berwick. The trail is also working to complete a1.6 mile Scarbourugh Gap, three miles of new off-road trail through the heart of Biddeford and Saco, and 19 miles of new trail between Kennebunk and South Berwick.
