Hiking Close to Ogunquit

You’ve got some stellar options for hiking within a close radius of Ogunquit, including some protected lands showing off the rich beauty of Southern Maine’s coastal zone. That includes Mount Agamenticus Conservation Region, which encompasses one of the most significant forest blocks in the region and delivers some far-reaching views from its highland trails.

Some seven miles of trails, meanwhile, await you at the Wells Reserve, where you can roam from dune-backed strand and tidal estuary to coastal woods and meadows. The Wells Reserve falls within the more extensive holdings of the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge—named for the great naturalist, environmentalist, and author who penned Silent Spring—which offers other hiking opportunities as well.
