This is a sweet place — really lovely — and a good spot for birding. There’s a teensy trail — it’s just 0.3 miles — but it’s pretty, and mostly accessible*, passing the river, small wetland, and pond. The town of Brunswick maintains the park. It’s possible to put in a boat here, too.
*The surface of the wide trail is hard-packed dirt and grass, and has a few roots. One side of the wooden bridge also has a slight lip.
Directions: From Old Bath Road, coming from Cook’s Corner, you’ll take a left at the Bay Bridge Estates, about two miles from the lights and intersection of Lowe’s and Route 1. The street is called Driscoll, I believe. There are other lefthand turns you can take into this housing park, too. Drive to the t-section, take a left and continue to the park. There’s lots of parking.
Bay Bridge Landing: Do not expect a paved path. The trail is hard packed dirt, with grass and occasional tree roots which make it marginal at best for wheelchairs.
Yes that is true. I revisited this little loop and it has become overgrown in spots, with some large branches down.
Even in the best of times it might require a relatively rugged wheelchair.
