Downeast Sunrise Trail.
Access to the Downeast Sunrise Trail is just minutes away from most of our properties. It is a multi-use corridor connecting eastern Maine and the head of the East Coast Greenway
from Calais, Maine to Key West, Florida. It is part of the ‘ice age’ trail.
That’s right. You could feasibly take the pup for a walk down the entire eastern seaboard.
The trail has a website and facebook page where they update trail conditions — very important with winter snows and spring muds.
One of their newest features is an app where one can enhance the appreciation of the ice age. This is what is written on the app’s website:
The Ice Age had a profound effect on the Maine landscape. This effect is very pronounced in the Down East region, where a vast sheet of glacial ice sculpted Cadillac and surrounding mountains, carved out the Sommes Sound fjord, and left spectacular sand barrens.
The Ice Age Trail is comprised of the finest and most accessible of these features. It follows the margins of the last great North American continental ice sheet and coincides with many Down East tourist attractions.
We invite you to use this interactive trail map and guide to enhance your appreciation of the Maine landscape during your next visit or to take a virtual tour. In either case, we hope the time you spend here will be both informative and enjoyable for you.
