The feel of this forest is not to be missed; it is open, dark, cool, and soothing. This particular grove is close to the trailhead, so you don&#8217;t have to walk far to experience it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town has marked a 1.5-mile loop with blue blazes in the woods. There are other tracks crisscrossing this loop. I didn&#8217;t explore them. The forest was quite wet when I visited in early June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town says there are only 11 documented old-growth hemlock stands in Maine, and this is one of the oldest. Hemlocks can live to be 400 years old, and these ones are just reaching maturity. Here&#8217;s more <a href=\"https:\/\/cms9files.revize.com\/waldoborome\/2021%20Town%20Flyer.pdf\">info<\/a> about the forest and other town parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Directions: <\/strong> You can see a couple of signs for the Town Forest from Route 1 (a new one and an old one). Turn off Route 1 onto West Main Street, and then almost immediately turn into the large parking lot. The trail starts at the western end of the lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:36.02821%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1067\" data-id=\"13369\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/town-forest-waldoboro\/town-forest4\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Town-Forest4-768x1024.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Town-Forest4-768x1024.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:63.97179%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"13367\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/town-forest-waldoboro\/waldoboro-town-forest1\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Waldoboro-Town-Forest1.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Waldoboro-Town-Forest1.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 63.5-acre town forest contains a seven-acre grove of hemlock trees that dates back to the early 1800s.
