Located in the middle of Orr’s Island village, Houghton Graves Park provides visitors a breath of fresh air. Mowed grassy paths lead to picnic tables and views of beautiful Beal’s Cove on Harpswell Sound while also providing access to the shore. This three-acre “pocket park” is a great place to spend a few minutes, or a few hours.
The Hackett and Minot Trails take visitors through a verdant, mossy forest with numerous lichen and club-moss glades, as well as to a vernal pool. Visible to the west of Harpswell Neck Rd. (Rt. 123), this property complements Harpswell’s historic center, which includes the 1757 Old Meeting House, the 1842 Elijah Kellogg Church, the 1876 Centennial Hall and the 1783 Tarr-Eaton House, which is protected with a historic preservation easement. Directions: Please park at the Harpswell Historical Society, 929 Harpswell Neck Road. From the intersection of Rt. 123 and Bath Rd at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, follow Rt. 123 south for 8.4 mi. Look for the museum on your left. After parking, cross the road and walk down private Littlefield Road until you see signs for the trail. N43.799352 W69.987680.
