North Yarmouth

  • Sam Ristich and Hayes Forest Trails — More than four miles of pleasant forest trails, including a section along an old railway. Across Route 9, more trails on a Hayes Forest tract would be more suitable for winter exploration.
  • Old Town House Park — A beautiful 62-acre park with trails along the Royal River and around meadows. 
  • Dunn’s Depot Trail — Across the street from Old Town House Park is the ~1.4-mile lollipop loop trail that brings walkers along the edge of the river.
  • Chandler Brook Preserve — Another pretty preserve, 65 acres, this time along a tributary to the Royal River. 
  • Skyline Farm and Water District trails The nonprofit organization offers a couple miles of beautiful public trails and horse-drawn transportation education and recreation (including sleigh rides and carriage rides!). Across Sweetser Road, you can add on a 1-mile loop on town land that protects the local water supply.
  • Mèmak Preserve — 46 acres of protected woods that contain a particularly nice old stonewall.
  • Granite Falls — A short, grassy trail, about 0.2 miles, brings you to a small waterfall that flows over ledge. 
  • Fern Hollow — Å quarter-mile trail runs from the end of Cluff Road to a small brook and stone railroad culvert.
  • Dédəbonsagk Preserve — Wander easy, mown trails through a 3.5-acre meadow. You can make small loops into adjacent forest stands or, briefly, along a power line corridor.

Let me know if you have any trail updates or corrections!
