- Mast Landing Audubon Sanctuary — More than three miles of trails wind along this 101-acre preserve, mostly flat. Sometimes the trails are overgrown. No dogs allowed.
- Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park — 200 beautiful acres, several miles of easy trails. Dogs allowed on leash.
- Wolfe’s Neck Farm Trails — Wolfe’s Neck Farm has more than 3 miles of hiking trails open to the public year-round. A bit hard to find the path sometimes. Dogs allowed, I think.
- Calderwood Trail — A very short walk that links up to a larger network of trails in East Freeport (see below!).
- East Freeport Trails — A long, flat walk in the woods, with a side trip to a beaver pond. Dogs allowed except on part of the Kelsey Brook Trail that passes a farm.

- Hedgehog Mountain and Freeport Recreational Trails — Over five miles of trails leads to Freeport’s highest point — which is fairly anti-climactic.

- Arnold Family Forest — This property includes a 3.-mile trail to the banks of a private cove. There might be more trails here, but they weren’t well marked when I visited.
