Fisherman's Walk Trail

Fisherman's Walk is a small 0.8 mile out-and-back trail that leads from the Wiggly Bridge/Steedman Woods Trail over to York Harbor Beach and the Cliff Walk Trail.

The trail leads along the York River with waterside views. Occasionally the trail crosses a street, so be on the lookout for where the trail continues. Once you make it to the western side of the York Harbor Beach area, you've reached the end.

Additional hikes: If you plan to visit this trail, be sure to check out the Wiggly Bridge Trail, just across the street. You can also link up with the Cliff Walk Trail for a longer and even more scenic hike found after the southeast trailhead along this trail.

Parking: You can park at the same parking area for the Wiggly Bridge and walk over or you can park directly on Barrell Ln Exd Rd. If you plan to park near York Harbor Beach, be sure to read the signs about permit parking along Harbor Beach Road - you're better off parking on York Street.

Pets: Dogs are allowed if on leash and their waste must be carried out. Please note that dogs are not allowed on the Cliff Walk Trail, so if you plan to hit both, do not take your pup.

Beautiful day out on the trail. This spot has become more and more popular over the years, but it's fairly quiet on weekdays. We hit up the Wiggly Bridge while we were here.
