Tracy Shore trails in blue, Library Park trails in green
This must be a well-loved trail by locals because while the walk itself is pretty, the overlook it leads to is really impressive — high views over Damariscotta River’s Jones Cove. The Damariscotta River Association’s description is apt: “A well-marked system of trails wends its way past vernal pools, cascading streams, and cliffs adorned in rock tripe and ferns, culminating at a promontory affording stunning views of the cove and river.” In total, the trail system is about 1 mile, and a trail connects to Library Park, a nearby walk with about .8 miles of trails.
Directions:Tracy Shore is located on the west side of Route 129 in South Bristol, about 11 miles south of Damariscotta or 1.5 miles north of The Gut. Enter off of the S Road about 20 feet from 129. The DRA map below also shows two other nearby walks: Seal Cove and Library Park.
