Wonderland Trail Accessibility Information

Wonderland Trail is a family-friendly coastal trail, popular for birding and tidepooling at low-tide. When exploring this area, never turn your back on the water, explore as tide is going out, and be gentle with any creatures in the tidepools.
Located between Seawall Campground and the Ship Harbor Trail on Maine Route 102A, Wonderland Trail is an old gravel fire road which leads to the ocean.
There is limited parking in a small lot, street parking is also available. No accessible parking spaces are set, and there is no toilet at the trail head. The closest accessible toilet is at the Ship Harbor Trailhead, a short drive south.
