Parker Point to South Street, Murphy, and Kaiser Trails
This trail system is designed for accessibility and to provide a pleasant way to travel through Blue Hill Village on foot while getting off the busy roads. The Murphy Trail is a lovely wooded path with crushed gravel, perfect for a stroll through the woods and suitable for strollers or those with limited mobility. The Kaiser trail connects the Murphy Trail with our Parker Point to South Street Trail and is a typical wooded trail. The Parker Point to South Street Trail has been improved and now includes several new bridges, gravel-covered paths, and a long staircase up the slope coming out in between Mainescape and the Blue Hill Coop.
