My wife and I are at different skill levels, but Eric (the tour guide and business owner) did a truly wonderful job accommodating our capabilities and staying enthusiastic throughout the ride - he's a fantastic adventure tour guide! Eric is very professional and organized - the bikes were sized for us and he had water and snacks packed and ready to go before we even arrived at the starting location. Also, the bikes are top-notch - it was a real pleasure to ride those bikes through the woods of Maine! We would definitely do another ride here!

You will be hiking up and down short hills and the path will be rocky with roots and covered in leaves. Also, you will be walking around a marsh and along Stackpole Creek so there are many areas that are wet and you will want to keep your feet dry. The trails are extremely well marked, however, I would recommend taking a picture of the trails at the trail head to review as you hike. While we have been here a few times, we had never followed the Blue Heron trail to the end and were surprised when it just stopped at a bench overlooking the river. Well guess what... that is what it currently does! We back tracked and ended up crossing over the bridge to join the Red Maple trail and loop around the hill (you will come to a spot where you can look across the river to the bench at the end of the Blue Heron trail). This is a great spot for birders!!! Some trails are also open to mountain biking. Dogs are supposed to be on leash, no longer than 4ft, but that does not mean you will not come across someone with an off leash dog walking these trails. There is a decent sized parking area at the trail head which is located off Rt 112. The trail does skirt along private property so be aware of where you are. They are also building a development and there is currently a construction trailer near the trail head. You can make this hike a short hike or a long one. This last hike we ended with a 4.68 mile hike. I really like this spot and recommend bug spray in the Summer and expect to find ticks for sure.

I love this trail because you can choose your own adventure. Go as far as you like, past the rolling farmlands and through the woods. My dogs LOVE this little hike. There is one part, in Windham, which goes over an old train bridge. The view over the river from this spot is magnificent.

Watch out for dog walkers who don't use leashes. I've had near collisions with dogs. Most people are friendly and respectful. Local advice: park in the tiny lot by Chase Lane (look for the white fence along 33). It's a nice ride from there. Cool fields and a few narrow bridges. Most trails are on trailforks. Most fun trail is Dead Fish, perhaps USA Today too.

I am anything but a hippy. The trails were all rake and ride, but with all of the miles of trails they have there is something for everyone. Including a "roller coaster" park that they built. Its remote, but definitely worth the trip! They even have a yurt you can camp in and a wood stoked hot tub.

Each Winter when the snow begins to feel overly oppressive, I curl up on the couch with a hot mug of tea and craft a list of all the outdoor places I want to explore. The Edwin L Smith Preserve came up in my research and, since it was a place I had never gone, I made it a point to seek it out first. On a sunny spring Sunday, we decided to spend a couple hours of hiking as much of the trail system in the preserve as we could. But we got bored and left. Yeah, you read that right. It's a trail. It's JUST a trail. A very, very, very long trail through the woods. There's no destination to get to, there's no scenic overlooks, there's no ruins of any kind, there was no nature other than the sound of bird call to admire, there's literally nothing here but trail and woods. Oh, but you won't actually be able to enjoy the woods because you'll be spending most of your time looking down at your feet because: 1) much of the trail is irritatingly windy and hilly - not so much that you'll break a sweat, but just enough to inconvenience you. It seems to just go up and down, and up and down, and up and down... without getting anywhere but up and down, and up and down, and up and down. 2) the impressive amount of roots to trip on... at one point we joked that it felt like we were in some sort of fairy tale where the roots seemed to be multiplying in an effort to eventually entangle us thereby forcing us to stay in the most boring woods for the rest of our lives. I admit: I'm privileged by living in Maine. There are beautiful walking paths, hikes, beaches, mountains to climb, and gardens to both wander and wonder in pretty much everywhere you look. As such, it's always a little disappointing when you find yourself walking a trail that could be any trail in any part of any woods anywhere in the world. That's just not for me. But maybe it's exactly what you're craving. If you need to clear your head and breathe in some of that refreshing Maine air, if you need a peaceful walk through nothing but woods uninterrupted by literally anything, if you need a little gentle monotony in your life, even if you're a mountain biker looking for ten mile work out... then this Preserve might be everything you've been looking for.
