Footpaths

The Conservation Commission is creating footpaths through the town in collaboration with George's River Land Trust (GRLT) and Maine Coast Heritage Trust (MCHT). The two-mile Jones Brook Trail, a collaboration with GRLT links an existing trail in the Town Forest on the Kinney Woods Road to the historic State owned Fort Point on the St. George River. The trail route passes through mature softwoods and mixed wood stands, and offers views of beaver lodges and moss-covered granite outcrops along Jones Brook. Click here to download the Jones Brook Area Map and also Trail Map for Fort Point and Trail Map for Town Forest.  The Jones Brook Trail crosses private land and was made possible by the generous cooperation and support of participating landowners. 

The St. George School Nature Trail reopened in 2016 on National Trails Day. The Trail was restored and expanded onto Jackson Memroial Library property with the support of students, teachers, and the Conservation Commission. Region 8 Mid-Coast School of Technology students and teachers constructed the kiosk and interpretive sign boxes for the trail. The kiosk is located at the trailhead adjacent to the library. St. George students with assistance from teachers will place and update information on the nature trail interpretative sign boxes that were installed along the trail in May of 2017 by the Conservation Commission.
