SCENIC WALKS
All hail Richard Rogers who preserved this land in the 1950s for public use. Today it is among the nicest flat and easy woodland walks in the Piscataqua River region – and dogs are welcomed – as long as they and their masters behave.

Town of Kittery web site
Rogers Park consists of 27 acres along Spruce Creek given to the townspeople by Richard Rogers in 1958. Rogers was born in Kittery in 1866 and was a proud descendant of a Mayflower settler from Plymouth, MA. Originally known as Eagle Point, this land was occupied by members of the Rogers family as early as 1677.
Today this preserved waterfront land is squeezed between a housing development and the busy outlet malls on Kittery’s Route 1. Visitors can park in a dead end spot just off Rogers Road. Trails are marked, although some of the signs were damaged during our spring visit. Trails run through a lovely wooden area and along the creek and marshland. The waterway ends at the bridge just above the outlets and Bob’s Clam Hut, but mercifully, the buildings are not visible from the trails.
This is one of the finer and lesser known walking trails in the region and reminded us, in places, of the Urban Forestry Center in Portsmouth that is similarly tucked into a peaceful area close to the miracle mile off the commercial Route 1 there. -- JDR
