The short forested trail to a stunning spot by the ocean is reachable only by foot or bicycle — visitors are discouraged from driving down the private Roaring Spout Road. You can park at one of two gravel spots at the start of Roaring Spout Road.
The walk down Roaring Spout Road is about 0.7 miles. When the road curves, you’ll see the footpath on your left, shortly after a driveway to a big house. There is a small land trust sign on a tree. In about 0.1 mile down the path, you’ll come to the view. The roaring spout itself is most dramatic during high tide and choppy seas.
Directions: From the land trust: Access to Roaring Spout is available via two gravel parking spots at the beginning of Roaring Spout Road. The following directions were supplied by a site visitor: Go “down Roaring Spout road and stop at the intersection” with Hellyer Road. Right there at the y-section is a small sign for the Roaring Spout trail.”
