The Armistice Bridge footbridge offers excellent birding for loons, gulls, ducks, ospreys, and eagles, as well as fishing in season. The eastern end of the bridge spans a tidal flat at low tide, where various species of shorebirds feed in the mud.
From the west end of the bridge, the trail follows the wooden dock and concrete Harbor Walk through the middle of Front Street Shipyard’s bustle of business and diversity of boats to the Public Wharf, where there are flower gardens courtesy of Belfast Garden Club, restrooms, and parking.
For a side trip, Main Street Park is up the hill across Front Street from the Harbor Trail, where there is excellent birding behind the wastewater treatment plant.
The Harbor Walk continues from the Public Wharf past Heritage Park, which has picnic tables, a grassy lawn, and a beach at low tide. The Boathouse at the southern terminus of the Harbor Walk offers gardens, public access to the beach, and another vantage point for watching seabirds.
