The best dog friendly neighborhoods in Harpswell
48
Harpswell Town Center
The Harpswell Town Center contains the Cliff Trail system, which follows along the shore of Strawberry Creek and rises to the 150-foot cliffs that are visible from the Long Reach Preserve. The trailhead is at the parking area on Mountain Road, and the trails meander through the forest to Henry Creek, down along the cliffs and past a cut-off trail that contains a fairy house zone for the kiddos’ enjoyment. Another fairy house zone lies to the south at the point where the best viewing of Long Reach exists. The trail is just over 2 miles long and takes approximately an hour to complete, depending on your pace. Birds and wildlife will interest your fur-pup along the way during all 4 seasons. In winter, paths are groomed for snowshoeing, and the wintering-over species appear: deer, rabbits, cardinals and chickadees, among others.

Harpswell Center/ West Harpswell
This Harpswell neighborhood is home to the dog-friendly Curtis Farm Preserve, with a 1.25-mile trail system that traverses fields, through the forest and ultimately to the shores of Basin and Curtis Coves and their gravel beaches. The property also includes a freshwater pond and wetlands to explore for waterfowl and other wildlife. You will find shellfish in the mudflats, and the views are fantastic! Take Fido for a hike, but keep him leashed during nesting season April 15 to July 31. Other times, he can be under voice control. Hungry? There’s a picnic area on the Basin Cove side, near the pond, as well as a spot with water access in case you’re in the mood for some cruising or fishing. Woofderful!

Orr's Island
Dog-friendly Orr’s Island lies just to the south of Harpswell Center, and it features the Devil’s Back Trails, West and East. The West Trail loops north and south from the parking area on Harpswell Islands Road (Rt 24) near Seal Rock, and meanders through wooded lands before descending to Long Cove in 3 separate loops. The park has provided a bench about halfway down for resting and viewing the beautiful cove. On the East Trail, which is comprised of 2 long loops that intersect near the parking area, you can view the scenic Gun Point Cove, while the Seal Rock Trail affords views of seals basking in the sun, playing and fishing. This is also where there might be ospreys riding the thermals looking for their fishy dinners or perched in their large “stick nests.” Your fur-pup will especially enjoy these samples of marine life, along with the other birds and mammals you’re likely to encounter on your walk. He can be allowed off leash if he is under good voice control.
12
Bailey Island
Further south from Orr’s Island on Rt 24 will bring you to Bailey’s Island, home of the Johnson Field Preserve, an open meadow at the head of Mackerel Cove with 2 convenient parking areas. This recreational gem features great dog-friendly activities including walking, picnicking with the family, access to the beach for romping and swimming, and a great place to launch a canoe, kayak or motorized boat for a day or afternoon on the water. The views from the Preserve are fantastic, and it is open year-round. In the winter, sledding on the meadow’s gentle hill is a family favorite, and some fur-pups love to chase that sled and its human down and back up again! Furtastic!

The Goslings
The Goslings are 3 undeveloped small islands so named because they lie just south of Lower Goose Island in Casco Bay, east of Harpswell Center and part of Harpswell. They are uninhabited, but 2 of the islands have established campsites where pups are welcome, as well as meadows and woods to explore, and a sandbar connects them at low tide. Woof! The third island, named Irony, is primarily a sand bar with a few wind-bent trees, but is home to a pair of long-time resident ospreys who unintentionally pose for pictures and fish for dinner in the inlet between the islands. All 3 islands can be reached by private boat or launch from Harpswell Center, and are available for day trips if remote camping isn’t your thing.
