Shore walk around Mackworth Island.
Beautiful, peaceful.
fairly simple scenic walk.
A true gem of Portland that really gives you a great perspective of the city. A magical place and fun easy loop for anyone. Spectacular views.
I used to walk this every day. The only issue is parking, but if you are an early bird like me, you should get a spot no problem. Parking before the bridge is for Falmouth residents ONLY. You will get ticketed or towed if not a resident. Mackworth Island is a state Park, and there is a fee.
Beautiful and relaxing.
easy walking on the trail, for more challenge one can travel along the shore in many areas.
A nice walk! I recommend park off the island and walk in via the bridge.
