Southern Maine can be a great place to hike and enjoy the outdoors especially if you like the ocean and sea-side hikes.

Along the coast of southern Maine from Kennebunkport Maine south to the border of New Hampshire there are at least 15 coastal hikes ranging from .5 to 2.5 miles in length so they would be great for day trips with the family or exploring with friends. To see them all~~>Click Here

A short hike I am familiar with is the Ossipee Hill hike in Waterboro Maine. A scenic hike just over a mile in length you will have some great views of the Saco River Valley along this hike up to the summit of around 1000ft. There is good parking and a dirt road will get you part of the way up. A great lunch time hike either solo or with a friend and there are longer hikes for more experienced hikers or mountain bikers too.

Another place that looks great is Rattlesnake Mountain in Raymond Maine. There is a link to the trail and a great photo below.
