Difficulty: Easy

Round-trip Distance: 1.50 miles

Enjoy views of Portsmouth and Little Harbor as you make your way along the water's edge and through the forest on this 1.5 mile path that connects the Creek Farm Reservation to the grounds of the Wentworth-Coolidge State Historic Site and City of Portsmouth conservation land. From the Creek Farm parking area, walk across the lawn toward the Creek Farm kiosk and the water's edge. Walk along Sagamore Creek past lilac bushes until the trail turns left to go around a man-made tidal pool. Before you turn left, a spur trail leads to a lookout over the tidal pool. Continue on the loop trail through an old orchard and around to the other side of the tidal pool. The trail continues along the shore past Goose Island until it turns left and follows a rocky path to the road. Please respect the private property to the right of this trail. Take a right at the Wentworth-Coolidge parking area and look for a sign marking where the trail turns left into the woods. The trail continues through the forest where you'll pass stonewalls, tall white pine trees, and a large vernal pool. Another spur trail on the right leads to a spectacular view of the harbor. The loop trail leads back to Creek Farm through the City of Portsmouth conservation land. Cross Little Harbor Road to return to the entrance of Creek Farm and follow the driveway back to the parking area.
