This state park gets its name from the ferry that used to run back and forth across the nearby Saco River. But its greatest claim to fame may be its stand of tupelo (black gum) trees, which are very unusual this far north. There are some nice forested walking trails here, too, if you want to park your bike for a few minutes and stretch your legs.

Running

Ferry Beach State Park features a few miles of trails that back up to Long Pond, but its main attraction is definitely its huge white-sand beach. You can run through the woods to get to the beach or just loop around on the trails. The paths are really well-kept and great for trail running.
