How we would fit it into your day

Build your outing around its actual departure point in Kennebunkport or nearby Kennebunk. Leave time for parking and check seasonal dates, ages and access requirements directly. Keep the rest of your day close by; a town label is not a confirmed meeting point.

Before you go

Use the Trust’s trail map. Surfaces beyond the labyrinth can be uneven with roots. Trails are not intended for commercial use; this is a self-directed visit.

Use the official information below to check opening hours, access, admission and current conditions.
