Cranberry House Trail
(Behind Cranberry House)
Built on National Trails Day (7 June 2008) in cooperation with Maine Coast Heritage Trust, this one-mile-long public trail offers a relaxing and scenic path from Cranberry House, through shaded woods with waving ferns and cool mosses, to the sand beach on Whistler Cove, facing the Western Way.
Conversely, visitors arriving by small boat to the sand beach can now visit the museum and café in Cranberry House.
