There was only a small stretch on roads \u2014 just 100 feet or so \u2014 and it was a quiet, neighborhood road. The trail extends from Bug Light Park to the large Wainwright Recreation Complex, which has fields and a faint dirt road that follows part of its perimeter for about 1 mile (marked in red on my map).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a couple of points you have to cross busy streets with traffic lights. The majority of the roughly 5.5-mile trail heads in a southerly direction behind houses, past some waterfront views, through woods and along some fields (at the end). Some homeowners along the path have set up dog oases, with water bowls and treats. Phoebe enjoyed this part of the walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Directions: <\/strong> Begin your walk at either Bug Light. To get to the park, follow Broadway to its northern end in South Portland. Turn left onto Breakwater Drive and then left onto Madison Street. Follow Madison Street into Bug Light. To get to the Wainwright athletic fields, follow Highland Avenue south 2.6 miles from ME Route 77 in South Portland, and look for Gary Maietta Drive on the right. From Scarbrough, follow Highland Avenue 2.8 miles north from its intersection with ME Route 207. Follow Gary Maietta Drive until it ends at the Wainwright Athletic Fields&#8217; parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div
