Description

This half-mile loop trail is the perfect way to take in beautiful Widgeon Cove on Harpswell Sound. The path winds through woodlands, across ravines, and along the shoreline where there are dramatic views of the cove. At these scenic viewpoints, visitors can enjoy a picnic with family and friends, take pictures, or just sit quietly to observe waterfowl, wading birds, and other wildlife.

The Widgeon Cove Trail is part of the 88-acre Dunning Farm Conservation Easement. This privately owned property will remain forest and working farmland forever.
