The Maine East Coast Greenway is our portion of the visionary “Urban Appalachian Trail” extending over 2,600 miles from Key West, Florida to Calais on the Maine coast.

To make trip planning easier, the Maine East Coast Greenway is divided into five distinct sections:

Eastern Trail: Kittery to South Portland
This 80-mile ride serves as the southern gateway for Maine's portion of the East Coast Greenway. Cyclists will enjoy meandering through the rural countryside and southern Maine villages, as well as stopping at oceanside beaches along the way.

Casco Bay Route
This pleasant 35-mile ride takes cyclists from Portland’s historic waterfront to nearby suburban towns, including Falmouth, Yarmouth, Freeport and Brunswick, and the quiet countryside along Maine’s coastline. Among other attractions, the coastline offers gorgeous views of Maine’s rocky coast, a bird sanctuary, seaside camps and Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park.

River Route: Brunswick to Ellsworth via Bangor
This inland 176-mile river route connects Midcoast to Downeast Maine. On this route, cyclists explore three river valleys and the state capital. Be sure to leave plenty of time for exploration because there are numerous museums, historical sites, hiking trails and other interesting sites along the way.

Coastal Route: Brunswick to Ellsworth (Via Belfast)
This 187-mile seaside ride takes cyclists from Midcoast to Downeast Maine. The coastal route offers gorgeous views of Maine’s rocky coast and historical sites while providing a glimpse of coastal living.

Downeast Trail: Ellsworth to Calais
See Maine’s rural and agricultural past and present. This 140-mile ride takes cyclists through the heart of Downeast Maine. The route offers an unforgettable combination of the best of rural Maine and its small towns and villages, blueberry barrens and bald eagles.
