 Activity book released We've just published our outdoor activity guide for children. This guide, developed with a grant from the Coastal Healthy Communities Coalition and produced by Susan Gold of Custom Communications of Biddeford, Jane Hamblen of Saco Bay Trails and Ferry Beach State Park Ranger Janet Mangion, provides a multitude of activities for children on trails around the Saco Bay area. The book can be downloaded free on this website. |

Cascade Falls
The trail isn't open yet, but we're making great strides. We now have a parking lot built and a network of future trails flagged in the area. We're actively seeking grants for trail construction which we hope to begin in 2010. In the meantime, we're working to keep vandalism and litter at bay in the area. We'll be setting up a page on this site to track progress.
