The Whiskeag Trail connects the conserved lands at Sewall Woods and Thorne Head Preserve to the YMCA, McMann Athletic Complex, Bath Middle School, and Oak Grove Cemetery in Bath, Maine. Named after an Abenaki word meaning "a creek that runs nearly dry at low tides," the trail follows Whiskeag Creek, which flows into the Kennebec River. The surrounding wetlands and waterways are crucial for flood control, erosion reduction, pollutant filtration, and wildlife habitat. The area supports a diverse range of species, including birds like Blue-winged Teal, Great Blue Heron, Bald Eagle, and Egret, as well as terrestrial animals like beaver, wild turkey, and coyote. Public use of the trail is free from dawn to dusk.
