From North: From the rotary at the intersection of US Route 202/ME Route 4 with ME Route 237 in the village of Little Falls in Gorham, follow ME Route 237 south approximately 1.2 miles. Turn left into the gravel drive immediately prior to the bridge over the Little River.

Description

Starting in a large field, follow the white flagging. There is a short loop along the bank of the Little River, and the trail crosses the field and turns left into a sizeable pine tree nursery. After passing several wetlands and vernal pools, the trail reemerges into the field and returns to the parking lot. There is a canoe launch here that has easy access for paddlers going up or down river.
