Maine's Eastern Trail will eventually extend from the Piscataqua River in Kittery to Casco Bay in Portland. For now, various sections along the route are being constructed, and an on-road bicycling route is available for those wishing to link the disconnected segments.
The Scarborough – Saco section includes Scarborough Marsh, home to many species of bird and other wildlife. Fans of early flight might also delight in knowing that this segment ends near the former Portland airport, where Charles Lindbergh frequently landed.
The trail runs nearly 8.5 miles between Scarborough and Saco, with new segments expected to be complete around Saco in November 2011. For trail updates, visit the
Eastern Trail Management District.

This is a great trail for geocaching on bikes. The ride is flat and easy terraine for most bikes. The geocaches are varied and interesting, without much bush whacking.
