Wiggly Bridge & Steedman Woods Loop Trail

The Wiggly Bridge & Steedman Woods loop trail is a 0.7 mile hike that starts and ends on Lilac Lane in York, Maine.

The trail leads across a dam on the York River and leads across the Wiggly Bridge over to Steedman Woods. Great views of the York River, fishing boats in the harbor, and just a nice short hike through the woods along the water.

The trail loops through Steedman Woods with a trailhead found at the end of Mill Dam Road with a small parking lot.

Additional hikes: If you plan to visit this trail, be sure to check out the Fisherman's Walk Trail, just across the street. You can take the Fisherman's Walk over to the Cliff Walk Trail for a longer and even more scenic hike.

Parking: The parking coordinates provided here have about 4 permit-only spots and 3 or 4 non-permit parking spots. The parking lot can fill up quickly, so show up early to get a spot or hike over from the Fisherman's Walk Trail parking area.

Biking: Biking not allowed on the Wiggly Bridge side of the trail. The signs are not 100% clear about biking through the Steedman Woods portion of the trail, but likely not allowed either. Check the Steedman Woods trailhead billboard for more details.

Pets: Dogs are allowed if on leash and their waste must be carried out.

Quiet morning walk through Steedman Woods. The town seemed to have opened up a couple more non-permit parking spots along the road as well.
