Mount Vernon Street Trail

About the Trail
The Mt Vernon Street trail is a useful neighborhood connection in a residential area. Wooden steps on either end of the trail bring the user down into a small ravine through which the Trout Brook runs. The trail connects over the Trout Brook on a simple wooden bridge.
Completed in 1999, this is the first trail project of the South Portland Land Trust.
