Laudholm saltwater farm is part of the Wells Reserve.  Hiking trails are easy and cover a variety of habitats - meadow, forest, swamp and beach.  There are approximately 7 miles of easy trails to experience the beauty of south coastal Maine. Trails are available year round for hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.  There are long sections of wooden walkways crossing the wetland areas as well as access to a walkable beach.

Walking the 5 – 7 miles of trails should take under 3 hours.   Afterwards let’s do lunch at a local eartery of the group’s choosing.
