Freeport
When it comes to walkable towns, it is pretty tough to beat Freeport, Maine. The main downtown area is a go-to destination for many as a local shopping spot. If you are looking for a sweet deal or you just simply want to window shop, there is a little bit of everything in this town. Most notable in Freeport is the flagship store of L.L. Bean. So, drive on over to Freeport, park your car, and get ready to walk everywhere in this little town.
Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park
Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park is a five minute drive from the center of Freeport's bustling shopping district, and as visitors approach the park, marshes and open fields provide a tranquil transformation back to nature. The park contains varied ecosystems, including climax white pine and hemlock forests, a salt marsh estuary, and the rocky shorelines on Casco Bays and the Harraseeket River.
Maine Wildlife Park
Families, nature lovers, photographers, and wildlife enthusiasts can meet wildlife, learn all about them, and of course, take lots of pictures! The park is home to over 30 species of Maine wildlife that cannot be returned to their natural habitats. Some are there because they were injured or orphaned, and others because they are human dependent – raised, sometimes illegally, in captivity.
