Woods Road Community Forest: The orange-blazed Ladyslipper Trail is a wide 1/4 mile accessible loop with a stable and flat crushed stone trail surface. There is a bench about halfway along this flat loop.
Pine Grove Preserve: Current sections (approximately 1/4 mile) of the Juniper Trail (green blazes) and White Pine Trail (yellow blazes) are relatively flat and don’t contain many roots or rocks. The dirt trail tread often contains many pine needles, which can occasionally be slippery.
Hurricane Valley Farm: There is a 1/2 mile mowed grass loop from trailhead by the greenhouses. These grassy trails may contain changes in ground surface from small animal holes or farming equipment. This trail may not be stroller friendly depending on grass height.
Suckfish Brook Conservation Area (Westbrook Entrance): This 1/4 mile trail (1/2 mile out and back) follows a former woods road from the parking area to a clearing with a kiosk. The trail then narrows along the red-blazed Bog Trail to an elevated metal boardwalk with a lookout over Suckfish Bog. There is a ramp to the boardwalk and then four steps to access the viewing platform. This section of trail may contain some roots but features a stable dirt trail surface.
Community Park: A one-mile loop through mowed fields starts at the kiosk near the soccer fields. Trail goes left or right along the outside of the field and loops around. The trail surface is generally mowed grass which may be slippery when wet. The terrain is variable with slopes not exceeding 10%. Access to trails is variable depending on time of year: parking next to the kiosk is accessible during the spring, summer and fall, but a winter gate only allows for parking 1/4 mile down a paved but unplowed road the remainder of the year.
Tidewater Farm: A 1/4 mile sloped out-and-back trail follows a crushed gravel access road to a grassy field with views of the mouth of the Presumpscot River. The terrain is generally sloped down towards the river and viewing point then a slight continuous incline back towards the parking lot.
Falmouth Town Green: This short trail (less than a 1/4 mile) loops around the field and to the pond next to the Mason Motz activity center at 190 Middle Road in Falmouth. This wide path with fine crushed stone trail surface and is generally level and contains no steps or other barriers.
Mackworth Island State Park: The trail surface is packed soil which may be slippery when wet, and the terrain is generally level with slopes not exceeding 10%. There are no steps or other barriers to wheelchairs on the main loop except for rocks, roots, and a few waterbars, but some of the small side trails down the steep slope to the shore may be inaccessible to some visitors. Please note that Mackworth trails are maintained by the Bureau of Parks and Lands, not the Falmouth Land Trust or the Town of Falmouth.
