Wolf Neck Woods State park offers many enjoyable
activities on more than 200 acres of beautiful forest
and shoreline just 4 1/2 miles from HECTIC L.L. Bean
in Downtown Freeport, ME. Access Bow St. to Wolf Neck
Road, follow this to the state park. DO NOT, repeat DO
NOT be thrown off by the 2 dollar per adult entrance
fee (slightly less for children). The park and trails
are exquisitely maintained and the views of Casco Bay
are absolutely phenomanal!
There are 5 miles of trails here, which you are
encouraged to enjoy! But, your walk will be
considerably shorter than that. Get a map from the
helpful Ranger at the park entrance or by the trail
network sign. YOU WILL NEED IT to find these boxes.
Follow your map to Interpretive Sign #1. Here
depending on the season you can either enjoy the
Foliage Loop, or walk directly to I.S. #3, enjoy the
views here before continuing down this trail towards
Googins Island. Site in some Ospreys on the island,
before heading out on the trail again.
"Casco Bay Osprey"
Somewhere between 4 and 5
Theres a bridge you'll find.
On the bridges- eastern side,
A box, there,for you: I did hide,
Away from the watchful "Osprey's" eye.
"Salty Hemlock"
Continue on the Casco Bay Trail,
Until no further it does avail.
Here it becomes the
Hemlock Ridge.
Follow the trail for a smidge,
when,
Suddenly you come upon Number Ten.
