Directly on the beach of the Atlantic Ocean at the picture-perfect coastal town of Guilford is the southern starting point of the New England Trail, the shortest of the eleven National Scenic Trails at around 220 miles. Chittenden State Park, where the trailhead is located, is a popular spot for walkers, bird watchers and anglers. From here you have a beautiful view of the ocean and offshore Chaffinch Island to Faulkner Island. With a wooden boardwalk the beach and the so-called salt marshes are accessible for everybody.
