If you find yourself driving through Machias, Maine, be sure to take a moment to visit the Bad Little Falls. In fact, the name Machias comes from the Passamaquoddy word that roughly translated means “Bad Little Falls.” But don’t let the name fool you, these falls aren’t bad at all, and instead powered the industry […]

As we continue our quest to walk the off-road portions of the Eastern Trail and East Coast Greenway, we visited the South Portland Greenbelt Walkway. The Greenbelt Walkway is the eastern end of the Eastern Trail, and is also part of the route for the East Coast Greenway that goes from one Florida to Maine. […]

However, I wish I was paying closer attention on our recent walk […]

Also known as the Salisbury Rail Trail […]
This weekend’s cooler temperatures were perfect for us to go for a stroll on the Kennebunk to Biddeford stretch of the Eastern Trail. Well almost perfect. It being a rail trail, Asa was inspired to write a new parody, which is now stuck in all of our heads! We’ve been hiking on the rail trail, […]
Tomorrow is National Walking Day, so let’s take a stroll down a few of our favorite rail trails. Asa and I love rail trails because they tend to be flat and easy on the paws; straight so you can see everything ahead and behind you, with no surprises; and wide so that even on a […]
Recently I shared a “then and now” photo of me at Fort Foster in Kittery Maine. This park is special because it is the first place Mom and Dad took each of us as puppies, and we have had many adventures there since then. However, in recent years we stopped going there. Although there is […]
Royal River Park in Yarmouth, Maine is a scenic walk through history. Follow the path along the river, stopping periodically to read the interpretive signs describing the mills that once depended on the three waterfalls at this former industrial site.
