Join Cape Elizabeth Land Trust staff and volunteers for the annual Fall Cross Town Walk. Beginning at Portland Head Light, located at Fort Williams, this CELT sponsored walk will traverse over eight miles of both Town of Cape Elizabeth and CELT trails highlighting Cape’s great places. This walk offers a unique overview of Cape’s diverse ecosystems including Spurwink Marsh, Robinson Woods and Great Pond. The program takes approximately five and a half hours. Hikers will meet at the Portland Head Light and will carpool (arranged prior to walk) back to Fort Williams after a picnic at Kettle Cove that each participant brings for her/himself. Snacks, drinks and lunch should be brought by each participant. Participants should be 12 years or older; please call about younger ages. All participants must register at least 48 hours in advance of the program and will receive notification of changes or cancellation.
