Fuller Farm is an exceptional site for bird watching, walking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. Follow the trail a short distance to reach the wooded area that abuts the Nonesuch River and features several loop trail options.
The Waterfall Trail parallels a scenic brook and leads to a waterfall with picnic table. The Waterfall Trail and Brook Trail have natural trail beds with roots and rocks, are narrow at times, and many inclines, some of which are steep.
The Bird Trail features a long raised boardwalk, and some steep areas.
The Maine Trail is a mix of mowed grass, dirt lane, and natural trail beds with roots and rocks and some steep areas.
The Hayfield Trail is a mix of mowed grass and boardwalk and features a bench. There is one short incline. The Overlook Trail is mowed grass with an incline and some wet areas. There is a bench on the Overlook Trail close to the junction with the Bird trail. The Hayfield and Overlook Trails together make a 1.8 mile loop around the meadow that offers accessibility for many people. (See Trail Access Information & Considerations below for more details about this access(ible) experience.) The trail is wide with a mostly mowed grass surface with slope and cross slope typically 3-5%.
The Burnham Road Access Trail is a natural trail bed with roots and rocks, and crosses a stream. There is a bench closest to the road-end of the trail. Note: there is no designated parking for this access point.

All dogs must be leashed on the rerouted Hayfield Trail during bobolink nesting season, from May 1st to August 1st. Additionally, the field itself is completely closed to human or dog traffic during this nesting season. Please follow the Maine Trail to access the rest of the trail system, which remains open. Signs and blue markers will be in place if you are unfamiliar with this trail. The Hayfield Trail will reopen in the summer after bobolink have left the fields, likely in late July.
Fuller Farm was acquired by Scarborough Land Trust in 2000 and is a former homestead that included woodlands and fields used for haying and pastureland. The property includes 3,500 feet of frontage on the Nonesuch River, which flows into the Scarborough Marsh. The 70 acres of fields are hayed on an annual basis to provide nesting habitat for birds.
Please note that biking is not allowed on the preserve.
This trail passes through a property that was acquired in part with funds from the Land for Maine’s Future program. For more information about the LMF program and the places it has helped to protect, please visit the LMF webpage.
