This is a sweet park with a teensy trail — it’s just 0.3 miles, but it’s pretty, as well as flat and easy, passing the river, small wetland, and pond. The town of Brunswick maintains the park. It’s possible to put in a boat here, too, and on hot days, we have seen people swimming.
The surface of the wide trail is hard-packed dirt and grass, and has roots. There are two long wooden bridges.
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.
