Annual Gathering - Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park morning walk
Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park, 426 Wolfe's Neck Rd, Freeport, ME 04032, USA, Freeport, ME, USYou must register on the AMC website for this walk.
https://activities.outdoors.org/s/oc-activity/a5UUN000001ZFDJ2A4/act00015492Let's explore the trails at the Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park prior to the Annual Gathering. Distance covered should be about 2 miles or so. We can make a group decision on how far to go. We can do it as a loop with the trail to both shores or explore more of the trails on the east side. We will take our time and have ample opportunities for being social along the way. Come breathe in the sea air and the woodsy smells, watch for birds and other wildlife. The trails are a mix of an easy accessible trail to uneven terrain with rock steps, ledges, short steeper ups and down and of course rocks and roots in places. There are lovely views along the shore. Hiking poles are recommended. Which trails we take will be a group decision.
Once you are registered, I will email a full description with any time adjustments and meeting spot. Please be aware that there is an entry fee for anyone under 65.

Acadia National Park - Hiking Beech Mountain and Beech Cliff Loop Trails
Acadia National Park, Maine, USA, Maine, ME, USAcadia National Park is a place like no other. This hike will start out from the Beech Hill Road parking area and offers great views of Long Pond, Somes Sound, Echo Lake, and a visit to the base of the park's only fire tower. At slightly less than two miles, this is a moderate hike through the forest, with rocks, roots, and a summit of Beech Mountain (839 feet) which will be just enough elevation to provide a good morning workout. It’s a great introduction to Acadia and its trail system for any reasonably active newer hikers. We’ll hike at a conversational pace, stopping for any photo opportunities that come up. All you need to bring is water, snacks, a good pair of hiking shoes, and your love of the outdoors!
Registration is required. Please register here: Acadia National Park - Hiking Beech Mountain and Beech Cliff Loop Trails | AMC
