Scenic Bike Ride & Mackworth Island Hike

Coastal Views, Local History and Wildlife Park Explore the picturesque coastline and natural beauty of Portland during a scenic bike ride and hike. Meet your guide at the pier, where you will receive a safety briefing and helmet before beginning your ride along the promenade. You will stop at points to take in the scenery and learn about the area’s history. See Bug Light, a steel lighthouse that was first lit in 1875, and hear the story of Fort Gorges, a Civil War–era fortress. Upon reaching Mackworth Island, park your bike and enjoy a mile-long hike along the trail that encircles this heavily forested island. Admire the views of Casco Bay and beyond as you walk along the rocky shoreline; keep watch for the different species of birds that inhabit the island, including seagulls and ospreys.
