The Historic Center is a good place to start in Yarmouth. One of its definite highlights is the Flaming Arrow Weathervane. It was donated to the center by the Haskell family after being removed from the West Trail, where it had stood among the pine trees after its removal from the 1730s Old Ledge Meeting House. Originally, the weathervane had been ...
This island in Casco Bay is located within the boundaries of Yarmouth. It has just a small permanent population living on its 260 hectares. One of the main reasons for a trip over to this island is to enjoy its beach. The beach is not huge, but it rarely gets too crowded. You can wander around the island, and an increasing number of people launch t...
Sandy Point is another quiet beach, as many tourists head for the larger beaches elsewhere on this coastline. There is plenty of space to enjoy the sand at low tide, and kids will love swimming here. It is a popular place for family picnics at the height of summer. You may see the lobster boats coming down the channel, or watch kayakers or sailboat...
If you’re looking for a pleasant stroll before dinner, then the trail that follows the river bank here is certainly worth considering. It is fully paved and flat, with signposts along the way indicating the sites of historical importance you pass by. Dogs are allowed and both of you are welcome to take a swim on a hot day, although you are responsi...
This park is on the site of the first saw and grist mill built on the Royal River back in 1674. It once used the power of the water in First Falls; if you are around in a period of wet weather, you will be impressed, even today, by the force of the cascade. You can park on the eastern shore fairly close by to enjoy a picnic. Access down to the rive...
While this small preserve covers just 23 acres, it affords some lovely views over Casco Bay, with its balance of rocky coast, sandy beach, and lovely red oaks. The trees are a popular place for bald eagles and great horned owls to perch as they search for prey. The trail is just short of 1.5 miles and fairly easy to walk. You need to head to Cousin...
A 3000 mile trail exists on the Eastern Seaboard of the USA that stretches all the way from Maine down to Key West, at the extreme end of Florida. A small part of that trail within Maine is known as the Beth Condon Pathway, named after a local schoolgirl killed in a road accident. It is a nice walk and equally suitable for bikers. In the summer, th...
Owned by the town, this 55-acre preserve offers a range of habitat, from salt marsh to oak and pine.

You can stop for a picnic at several places. The attractions change with t...
Seventeen islands come under the umbrella name of Chebeague Island and provide endless opportunities for visitors during the summer months. Not many people live on these islands, but there is sufficient infrastructure to allow tourists to enjoy themselves. Some families enjoy camping out in the bay on Little Chebeague İsland. There is other accommo...
The largest park in Yarmouth covers around 220 acres. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy about six miles of trails, where they can hike in summer and ski in the winter. The substrate is typical forest floor, with parts of the trail going through meadows. The brook and several tributaries cross the park which has a beaver bond, herds of deer, and an impr...

- Cynthia A. 1 contribution. Okay. This is a fantastic visit! However- people are out and about on the weekends. Especially during tourist season. I am a local and am saddened by the fact that you are closed on Sunday.
- NHjo. Saco, ME8,591 contributions. Spring is coming. The river was flowing fast on the first really warm day of 2022. Everything was still brown, but it was a great day to take a walk and enjoy the weather.
- Paula D. 16 contributions. Nice Little Beach --No Fee! It even has an outhouse. We are here mining so wouldn't want to pay 25.00 to go to the beach; we didn't have to psy here and it served the purpose of going to the beach at the end of the day.
- Heather V. Austin, TX 120 contributions. Suprisingly Lovely Walk. We thought this would be just a small park, but it turned out to have a decently long trail, beautiful waterfalls and creeks, and historic markers that detail the history of paper factories.
