The Secret Garden Details
Not far from downtown Kennebunk is a quiet and secluded area deep enough into the woods to make visitors feel as if they have traveled far away. The place is known as The Secret Garden of Kennebunk and is a natural filtering area for the Lake Brook Watershed with boggy areas and naturally lush vegetation. The 40 acres are an easy and peaceful walk of only a mile and a half but strewn with green fern beds and the songs of birds.
