Here’s a slideshow of recent pictures taken on one of the trails.
The park is protected under the auspices of the Loon Echo Land Trust. Here’s a link to their website page that details the properties they protect: Loon Echo Land Trust
On the Loon Echo Land Trust page there is a link to a PDF of a map of the park.
(How cool is that foot bridge?)
The Story Book trail is located in the middle of Bridgton behind the Magic Lantern Theater. The trailhead is located at Western end of the public parking lot with a Pavilion and informational kiosk marking the beginning.
The trail is sponsored by the Bridgton Public Library in partnership with the town of Bridgton.
As the few pictures I currently have show, there is a really cool bridge at the beginning that is actually a memorial named after a town native named Bob Dunning. Zoom in on the plaque for more details.
(I’d love to thank the wonderful person who left their cigarette butt at the base of the plaque. Nice touch)
So, full disclosure. I have not yet walked the trail. I plan to do so the next time I get up there. From what I can tell, there are references to story books scattered along the trail, all of which can be checked out at the Bridgton library.
So for now I’ll leave you all with these pictures.
