This world-class, 10-foot wide trail is enjoyed by thousands of users for hiking, snowshoeing, crosscountry skiing, walking, biking, birding, nature study and many other muscle-powered healthy activities. To provide end-to-end connectivity as offroad construction progresses, the ET is currently a connected series of off-road and on-road segments. The ET offers views of pristine Casco Bay at its northern end. It crosses cities and Maine’s largest saltwater marsh. It passes over the Maine Turnpike as part of a 6.2-mile greenway section connecting Biddeford, Arundel and Kennebunk. It’s near Maine’s sandy saltwater beaches–the finest anywhere. It passes through miles of quiet woodland with streams and wetlands. ET explorers may see great blue heron, snowy egrets, bald eagles, seals, wild turkey, deer, turtles, and other Maine wildlife, and historic mills and railroad artifacts. THE EAST COAST GREENWAY The East Coast Greenway is a developing trail system, spanning 2,900 miles as it winds its way between Calais, Maine and Key West, linking all the major cities of the eastern seaboard. Like the ET, more than 25 percent of the route is already on safe, traffic-free paths. See Greenway.Org. The Eastern Trail is the southern Maine section of the East Coast Greenway. 5 6 Map 7 Map 6 Map 5 Map 4 Map 3 N. BERWICK The Eastern Trail Alliance is solely responsible for content of this guide.

The Alliance works in partnership with the municipallybased Eastern Trail Management District, whose mission is to manage construction and trail operations. ETA depends upon member support. Please, if not already a member, join online at EasternTrail.org. Suggestions and Comments Please send suggestions for trail guide improvements to: ETA@EasternTrail.Org Guide to the ET PO Box 250 Saco, Maine 04072. Additional information about navigating the Eastern Trail (ET) This trail guide supplements ET trail signs. A Maine highway map will make a good traveling companion. DeLorme’s Maine Gazetteer is an excellent reference that also shows the historic Eastern RR route as an old railroad grade. Explore Maine by Bike, published by MaineDOT, includes 35 Maine bike loop rides: www.exploremaine.org/bike For other MaineDOT Quality Community programs: www.maine.gov/mdot/opt/bicycle-transportation.php. See ETmap.Org for a description of the Southern Maine section of US Bike Route 1, a mostly paved on-road bike route that parallels the Eastern Trail. That route will connect Calais with Key West, as part of a mostly on-road national bike route system. 7 8 EASTERN TRAIL ETIQUETTE • Be considerate of other trail users and nearby land owners. • Only stray from the trail on public areas. Don’t litter! • When stopping along the trail, move off the traveled portion of the trail if you can, or as far to the right as possible. • Clean up after your pet. • Dogs must be kept on a leash. • When passing horses, use your voice to calm the horse. • Bikes yield to walkers and horses. Walkers yield to horses. • Riders always wear a helmet! Be a good example for your kids. • Always ride slowly in single file when meeting others or when being overtaken. There are still very few toilets on the trail. Every Maine police station provides a public rest room. • Ride in a straight line. This is especially difficult for children, so remind and encourage your children not to weave around on the trail. • When overtaking other trail users, call out a warning, such as “passing on your left” or use a warning device such as a bell. Be especially careful when passing children. • The only allowed motorized vehicles are for public safety, authorized maintenance and motorized wheelchairs. • Share the trail with Maine’s wildlife. • During hunting season, wear blaze orange.

Continue on Map 6. 26 Acknowledgments The Eastern Trail Alliance appreciates the generosity of the landowners, including Unitil, who allow the Eastern Trail to be built on their property. Without their willingness to allow the public’s use, there would be no off-road Eastern Trail. We also recognize the people and organizations that have contributed their financial support. Their faith in the vision of the Eastern Trail shows courage and a love of Maine, its people, and visitors. We are grateful to the municipal governments along the historic Eastern Railroad corridor for forming, with the Alliance, the Eastern Trail Management District: Kittery, Eliot, South Berwick, North Berwick, Wells, Kennebunk, Arundel, Biddeford, Saco, Old Orchard Beach, Scarborough, and South Portland. Among those providing significant support: Maine Department of Transportation – National Park Service, Rivers Trails and Conservation Assistance Program – Bicycle Coalition of Maine – East Coast Greenway Alliance – the corridor town governments – Maine Turnpike Authority – and countless volunteers and ETA members.
