Description

The 1.5-mile loop trail to the north can be access from the Randall Road or Colonial Marketplace/Hannaford trailheads. An additional 2-mile loop to the south is accessed from the Dingley Spring Road trailhead. Birds and other wildlife abound in this quiet preserve. The trails travel through forest around abundant wetlands with winter views of the orchard, offering a different experience in each season.

Randall Orchards is a working apple orchard and vegetable market surrounded by forest owned by Robert and Julie Randall. The first trail opened in 2018 thanks to the Randall family opening the forested lands around their orchard to the public year round for trail use.

Trailhead Information

There are three trailheads:

  1. The back corner of the parking lot for the Colonial Marketplace/Hannaford in Standish on ME-25. Turn into the parking area, drive to the end of the building, and then turn right around the building. You will see trail postings here.
  2. There is access to the preserve on the northwest side of Randall Road, at the entrance to the orchard off of ME-25 in Standish. Look for the preserve and trail sign marking the trailhead.
  3. Dingley Spring Road in Gorham - look for the preserve and trail sign. Parking is along the road shoulder.

I started this walk from the back of the Hannaford Parking Lot. The shorter, 1.5 mile loop is nice, but narrow and I suspect, wet during a normal year. The second, longer loop was more open and a portion of the trail appears to be on an old tractor / farming road. I preferred this section of trail. Both trails had blue blazes on trees, were well marked and had maps with "you are here" at trail intersections. Basically 2 loops. With the exception of a man walking his dog, no one was there on a Saturday afternoon.

Don't expect to see many apple trees- there is only one very brief view of a corner of the apple orchard. Easy trail though, pretty much all shaded. Didn't see anybody else either parked nor on the trail on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.
