The Cross Town Trail connects Fort Williams Park at its northern terminus to Kettle Cove and Crescent Beach State Parks at its southern terminus, and connects to numerous other trail networks along its length. The trails are predominantly wooded with both moderate and steep slopes, with at least one bridge crossing a wetland area.
In the very middle of the trail, there is a quarter-mile stretch that travels along ME-77 just above where it passes through the Cape Elizabeth Middle School campus. At the southern terminus, the trail follows Kettle Cove Road for a half-mile then crosses ME-77. Please use caution along roadways.
For additional information, visit the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust website, or contact:
