Kittery Town Farm Forest

About Kittery Town Farm Forest

Explore the natural beauty and rich history of Kittery Town Farm Forest in Kittery, Maine. This serene woodland offers hikers two distinct trail experiences: the 1.2-mile Quimby Trail, marked with blue blazes, and the shorter, gentler Haley Trail, identified by yellow blazes. Discover the historic Haley Family Cemetery along the Quimby Trail, a poignant reminder of the area's past, including the grave of Captain John R. Haley. Both trails welcome leashed dogs, provided you pack out any waste, and offer parking at both trailheads for convenient access.

Whether you choose the longer Quimby Trail or the connecting Haley Trail, prepare for a peaceful woodland walk steeped in local history. The Haley Trail, in particular, offers a glimpse into the area's past as the site of the Kittery Alms House/Poor Farm/Town Farm, reminding visitors to be mindful of the surrounding private property at its northern end. Combine both trails for a varied hike, or opt for a shorter return trip using the Haley Trail after exploring the Quimby Trail. Note that scenic views are limited on the Haley Trail, but the quiet solitude and historical significance make it a worthwhile addition to your Kittery Town Farm Forest adventure.
