The Deer Isle-Stonington Nature Trail consists of a 0.3-mile boardwalk, all open to the public, which winds its way through forest and forested wetland.
A 0.2 mile section of the trail, beginning at the tennis courts trailhead, is wheelchair-accessible and loops back to the tennis court. The boardwalk in this section is 3.5-feet wide, and almost entirely flat, with only a minimal grade briefly heading down from the trailhead and upward at the exit.
There is an outdoor classroom in the middle of the trail network, with plank outdoor seating, a bird feeder, and a display board, and a second outdoor classroom is located at the entry."
Across the school driveway from the boardwalks there is a 0.2-mile trail which leads to the high school parking lot. This trail is wide and flat, with primarily a woodchip and sometimes grassy surface, with a few areas where there is forest floor with some minimal roots.
