The Trout Brook Nature Preserve

Trail is Complete!
 
The trail from Boothby Avenue and from Providence Avenue to Sawyer Street is finally complete. Along the way, you follow one completely new section of trail, cross two new bog bridges and the new 45' Trout Brook bridge. Big Thanks go out to the City, our volunteers, Portland Trails and private contractors for their help on the project.
 
In the spring, we will plant native plants and wildflowers and install a sign at the Sawyer Street trailhead and the Trout Brook Nature Preserve will be offically complete.
 
The South Branch Trail has been Resurfaced
 
The South Branch Trail has been resurfaced and is soon going to be improved with a kiosk and picnic tables. The trail is located on Philbrook Avenue across from the JC Penneys entrance to The Maine Mall. We are using stone dust to hold off the surrounding grass and will later top dress this with trail mulch to better cushion your feet. A group of high school students will conduct a clean up on the trail on May 5th to ready it for the walking and running season. Enjoy! 
 
The Maine Mall Wellness Loop is Ready!
 
 
The City of South Portland has improved sidewalks around one third of the perimeter of The Maine Mall. Erik Bouchard, shown in the photo above, has certified the quarter mile marks around the 1.5 mile route. The sign posts and mile marker signs, shown above, have been produced and installed. The loop trail passes by the newly improved South Branch Trail, so if you are ready for a creekside stroll, give it a try as well.
