Mount Agamenticus
OUTDOOR RECREATION
Once you have had a chance to spend some time on our spectacular beaches, we
invite you to take advantage of the other recreational treasures found here. From
hikes through tidal marshes to summiting York’s Mt. Agamenticus (Mt. A). For those
who love to tee up, there are fairways, berms, rough, and greens to suit every golfer.
Make time to put the
beach chairs aside
because there’s more
to do outdoors in
The Maine Beaches.
These days, trails aren’t just for the woods you know. Everywhere you turn you can
find a way to get off the beaten path and into nature. Choose from neatly paved,
region-wide routes like the Eastern Trail, which begins in Kittery and hugs the coast
northbound through Maine. When in Sanford, spend some time on the scenic trails
along the Mousam River or the six-mile Sanford-Springvale Rail Trail.
At 692 feet, Mount Agamenticus may not be tall, but its nearly 30,000 acres are a
spectacular venue for recreation with miles of trails for hiking, biking, ATV, equestrian,
and seasonal activities. There is even a universally accessible trail called The Big A.
You can also drive to the summit and take in the views southeast to the ocean or
northwest to the Presidential Range and Mount Washington.
Load up your own bike or rent from one of our many outfitters, who have everything
you need, from bikes to racks and gear. Hits the trails of the Kennebunk Land Trust
or Kennebunkport Conservation Trust. Experienced riders won't want to miss the
singletrack rides at Mt. A or Parsonfield in the northwest corner of York County,
