Description

This extensive trail network is the main access to over 1300 acres of pristine wildlife habitat and, combined with adjacent land in Arundel and Biddeford, makes up one of the largest un-fragmented parcels on the Southern Maine Coast. The Jim and Agnes Steele Trail is currently the longest trail and starts at the beginning of the Guinea Road. The trail crosses the highest elevation in Kennebunkport and has many large ledge outcroppings, vernal pools, and rare and uncommon flora and fauna. Other trails break off this main trail to provide trail experiences of varying lengths and difficulties.

Much of the land was deeded to the Trust by the residents of the Town of Kennebunkport and the balance was purchased or donated by Jim and Agnes Steel.

Other Information

KCT trails are not for commercial use. If you are interested in having an organized event on our trails, please contact the trust.

Also, due to the sensitive nature of rare flora and fauna and changing weather conditions, we do not allow motorized vehicles on our trails. Handicapped persons should contact the Trust and we can provide access to a limited portion of the trails.
