We come back frequently to bike this trail. It can easily be made into a loop if you start at the foot bridge on the side of the marina, continue on the rail trail then veer off right onto a road and loop back to the other side of the foot bridge. This trail is GORGEOUS. Several benches along the way.
I didn't read about this thoroughly and that's my error. It was lovely to walk the from Heritage Park to the pedestrian bridge, and over the bridge. However, we thought that we could walk the distance on the other side. There is NOT a similar walkway on the other side.
So keep that in mind and enjoy! The views are amazing.

The Belfast rail trail is a multi use trail for biking and walking/ running. It starts at the Armistice Bridge and goes 2.2 mile to city point. Across from it is the Harbor walk that travels to downtown belfast shops. There is ice cream and lots of other food options along harbor walk. Pets are allowed on both paths and leash laws apply.
A nice place to walk but we encountered so many cigarette butts that we couldn't help but stop and make a change! How does our beautiful area get treated this way?? Please use the provided containers so they don't end up in our ocean!!🤢
Beautiful hiking trail right along the bay the best part is a walking bridge across the bay spectacular views
Easy path for pedestrians and bicycles over the reclaimed rail-bed of the former Belfast & Moosehead Lake train tracks. Dogs must be leashed. Water views. Parking in several locations along the 2.3 mile trail. Open all year.
Great walking trail along the river. Flat, smooth surface, easy for older dog walkers. I loved the footbridge too but my furry friend preferred the trail. There was enough shade to make a hot day bearable. Plenty of free parking at the footbridge.
