SCENIC SEACOAST WALKS
Kittery Point, Maine

Easy to miss, this lovely trail winds thru thick woods and marsh on the way to Seapoint Beach. We took the short walk just in the setting sun on the day of the vernal equinox. En route we passed only one other hiker. Like we said, it’s easy to miss – but shouldn’t be.

According to the sign, the round trip Orange Loop Trail & Spur is 1.8 miles. We cheated in the setting sun and took the Blue short cut which is only half a mile. Still our short walk brought us along the waterway, along a marsh and through a dense wood with some large pines. The trail heads slightly uphill at first and gets off to a scenic start, especially with the sun slicing through the trees. We arrived after a soaking fall rain and the pine roots and covering were really slippery, so watch your step.

This whole area near Gerrish Island and Seapoint Beach is popular with locals who like to feel they are off the beaten path, but still close to home. There are some truly unspoiled spots here, just up from the Chauncey Creek lobster house which hangs out over the river, allows dogs, and is the perfect spot to end a perfect day. The spot is popular with kayakers and is the site of an annual small boat rowing race nearby.

This is all part of the Rachel Carson Refuge that includes 7600 acres from Kittery to Cape Elizabeth. But it isn’t clear how this trail and the Wells Maine Rachel Carson trails are linked. The web links might help, or you could remains as confused as we are. Even more confusing is that Cutts Island isn't an island, Don't question, just enjoy. -- JDR
