Reviews
"This is a nice runners park and maybe a hike if you don’t mind moving out of the runners way here and there. I’m sure it would be nice views here but I came on a foggy day that in my opinion made for better photos."
"Enjoy all seasons while walking around the Back Cove. Everyday you will find a different shade of colors, ocean color and currents and to top the adventure an amazing seacoast wildlife. Spring is also another a great season to photograph this natural area."
"I liked the walk around the cove, except that there was a lot of construction going on around both the near (from the parking lot) and far side of the cove. Also, part of the trail goes along the southbound shoulder of major route, Rt. 95 (or maybe it's Rt. 295). Some nice views of Portland and easy/free parking."
"About 3.6 miles if you run 1 lap but you can pick up extra traffic-free mileage by heading under the bridge out towards eastern promenade. Been a favorite spot for many years."
"My dog and I love it when a day trip to Portland includes a walk around Back Cove. The only thing missing is more trash cans on the walk, to dispose of "droppings" and it would be great if all the dog water fountains worked.. but we plan accordingly now."
