Meadow Woods Morning Nature Walk

Watch nature wake up to a new day as you explore forests, meadows, brooks, and vernal pools on this early-morning guided stroll through Kennebunkport's Meadow Woods Preserve. Experience the tranquility of a Maine morning as birds, butterflies, and other woodland creatures greet the dawn with song and color. Take a deep breath. The salty ocean air from nearby Goose Rocks Beach — just minutes away — soothes and invigorates as you power up for another day of fun in Southern Maine.

This guided hiking tour is perfect for the whole family. Dogs welcome! A gated dog park is available, and dogs on leash or under voice command are encouraged on the trails.
