Baxter Woods Details
Right in the heart of Portland, Baxter Woods was another gift of the infamous Percival Baxter, notorious for his love of Maines' outdoors. Sitting on 30 acres, the woods are mainly thick pine and feature easy and flat dirt trails for guests to casually stroll through. It should be noted that, although the trails are flat and easy, there are places where large roots may cross the path and cause tripping hazards for some elderly and younger guests.
