A wooded trail begins at the far (southern) corner of the field and passes through an old grove of apple trees and raspberry bushes.
This 150-acre property offers an exceptional opportunity to view migrating waterfowl as well as hawks, herons, and egrets along the marsh edge. Walkers can regularly see the colorful antics of the bobolink, whose distinctive flight pattern and voice are often seen and heard along the marsh, alongside the many bluebirds and swallows nesting in field boxes. Evening and early morning visitors may spot the occasional deer, moose, coyote, or fox in the fields.

From ME-77 (Bowery Beach Road) in Cape Elizabeth, take Spurwick Avenue 0.5 miles north to the Gull Crest Fields entrance on the right at top of the hill. There is a small parking lot immediately to the right on Gull Crest Drive. The trailhead is on the opposite (west) side of Spurwink Avenue, across from the bottom of the field just below the parking area.
When open, trail users may also park in the cemetery towards the Spurwink Avenue side.
