Hiking at Dodge Point in Newcastle

This past weekend, we decided to start checking on trails for our customers. Our first trail being Dodge Point in Newcastle, ME. The parking lot is a bit small for the number of people who use the trail, but we found a spot with no issues. We brought Gunther our outdoor loving hound. He has short legs but makes up for it with stamina and enthusiasm.

We decided to walk the main path and then veer off on the shore path, then looping back. I would call this route a beginner path but not so much for the complete novice. There are several hills and plenty of exposed roots and rocks.

My favorite spot was the dock, which was in good condition and clean. I laid down for a bit and took a break from the path to enjoy the inner waterways. We continued on and met some very nice people along the way, also with their dogs. One other note of interest was the hawthorn tree growing in the middle of the woods.... I was excited! Even had full berry display!
