Saco City Center

Saco City Center

The City Center neighborhood of Saco is a large area that offers shops and restaurants in downtown, and features 3 trails: the Middle Goosefare Trails, Cascade Falls Trail, and a portion of the Eastern Trail. All of these lovely walking trails are dog-friendly to leashed pups. The Middle Goosefare Trails are .5 miles of networked paths with a brook running through. In spite of the trails’ closeness to Route 1, this is a quiet oasis of woodland tracks with the occasional ledge and grassy area. Cascade Falls features a small network of trails totaling .3 miles, and is popular for fishing, walking and viewing the falls. The surface is stone dust, which is easy on feet and makes it accessible to people with wheelchairs and walkers. The Saco to Scarborough portion of the Eastern Trail is over 8 miles of easy hiking. All of this section is off-road, and provides many wildlife viewing opportunities. Woofderful!

Boothbay Park

Boothbay Park

This Saco neighborhood lies west of Interstate 95/ Maine Turnpike, and is home to the Horton Woods, a dog-friendly 100-acre wildlife sanctuary that features 2.2 miles of trails that run through woodlands, marsh, beside pools, and over a brook. Natural stone steps lead to a wooden bridge over Stackpole Creek, and the trails are arranged in a network of loops and out-and-back paths. The terrain is varied, from easy to moderate to advanced, and the surface is forest floor except in the marshy areas. This is a great park for viewing wildlife along its several trails, including a beaver dam, and there are resting benches along the way where you and your fur-pup can sit and enjoy the picturesque nature surrounding you.

Bradley St/ Franklin St

Bradley St/ Franklin St

Pepperrell Park is a small neighborhood green space with a playground and a ball field, but most of the space is grass where you and Fido can romp and play. This park is dog- and kid-friendly, so bring the family out to enjoy a picnic under the trees, or a game of catch on the lawn. A peaceful, quiet setting in the middle of downtown Saco provides a respite from the cares of the day. Just next door to Pepperrell Park is the Saco Dog Park. This fully fenced park allows your fur-baby to socialize with other dogs and get some exercise, and features large tree stumps and granite blocks to climb and sit on, lots of grass, and lovely mature trees that provide shade. Be sure to bring water and waste bags, as these are not provided by the park.

Ferry Beach/ Camp Ellis

Ferry Beach/ Camp Ellis

This neighborhood is home to the Ferry Beach State Park, one of the most visited parks in southern Maine. It is 117 acres of white sand beach, along with hiking trails, one of which meanders through a Tupelo swamp on a raised boardwalk. The Tupelo is rarely found as far north as Saco, and typically grows in a bog. The Ferry Landing Trailhead begins at the parking lot entrance to the park, and after dipping under Route 9, arrives at the ocean and its beautiful beach. Much of the park is wooded with a network of well-marked trails that vary from forest floor to gravel. Dogs are allowed on the beach between October 1 and March 31, and in the rest of the park year-round on leash. The park features picnic areas, with a pavilion, tables and grills, restrooms, concession stand, changing huts, and opportunities for surf-fishing on the beach. This is an old-fashioned beach-based park that has much more to offer than just sand and sun. Pawtastic!

Old Orchard Beach Town Center

Old Orchard Beach Town Center

Just over Saco’s northern border is Old Orchard Beach, a charming beach town with surf shops, an amusement park, tee-shirt shops and street eateries. For the town’s doggos, however, there is the Old Orchard Beach Dog Park, a fully fenced, safety-gated park with 2 separate sections for large and small dogs, fresh water, tennis balls that happened to find their way from the tennis courts next door, and comfortable seating for the humans. There is even a covered area for shelter from the sun or inclement weather. If hunger strikes, drive a short way down the Route 9/ Grand Avenue to the Sunset Bar and Grill where you can feast on everything from lobster to prime rib, with Fido by your side at the outdoor lawn seating. Bone appetit! If it’s Thursday night in the summer, and your pup isn’t scared of loud noises and explosions of light, stick around the Town Square for the weekly fireworks display on the beach!
