Trailhead
From the intersection of US Routes 2 and 201 (Main Street and Water Street), take US Route 2 east (Water Street) for two blocks and turn left onto ME Route 150 (North Avenue). Continue up ME Route 150 to the third cross street and turn right onto Hesselton Street. Continue about a quarter mile and park near the far end of the field past Margaret Chase Smith School. The trails are in these woods on the left.
Description
Forming three distinct loops, the Heselton Street Nature Trail wends its way through a white pine forest. Typical of many of the woods in the area, the loamy sand soil covered with pine needles provides a cushioned walk up and down the ravines. Bridges and stairs have been added, which help traverse the steeper and wetter sections of the trails. The loop closest to Heselton Street is an ADA-compliant, crushed gravel trail. Parking and access are available both from Heselton Street and from the Memorial Fields at the end of East Maple Street.
Other Information
Expect a complete hike to take about 45 minutes.
