Reviews of Back Cove Park

Dana Hartwell

About 3.6 miles if you run 1 lap but you can pick up extra traffic-free mileage by heading under the bridge out towards eastern promenade. Been a favorite spot for many years.

Angela Arnold

My dog and I love it when a day trip to Portland includes a walk around Back Cove. The only thing missing is more trash cans on the walk, to dispose of "droppings" and it would be great if all the dog water fountains worked.. but we plan accordingly now.

Todd Palmatier

I liked the walk around the cove, except that there was a lot of construction going on around both the near (from the parking lot) and far side of the cove. Also, part of the trail goes along the southbound shoulder of major route, Rt. 95 (or maybe it's Rt. 295). Some nice views of Portland and easy/free parking.

Timothy Thompson

Nice view and nice trails but not much else to do.

Robert Blow

I like to bike around the 3 and a half mile trail around the cove.

Tyler Lund

Back Cove is a nice walking, running, and biking trail along the Back Cove in Portland. The trail is about 4 miles around. Be careful on the narrow bits as bikers and runners are fairly likely to sneak up on you. The scenery around the cove is nice, but a little lacking when the tide is low and it gets a bit smelly. The houses around the North side are very nice and I much prefer that section. Great for dog walks as well. A great way to get some fresh air away from the insanity of downtown.

Alecia Wenslow

There is plenty of parking, so even when it's crowded you can still find a parking space. The park has an obstacle course you can run through and the trail is about 3.5 miles long. The views are beautiful all around the trail. When the tide is low, it gets a bit smelly, but there's usually a good breeze.

Neil

Nice open space for people to roam around, play etc... The highway is nearby so if you're looking for a quiet place this might not be it. Don't forget it's a good idea to check with landowners and the town parks and rec. before entering property, you never know who will get upset these days.

Frankie

Great place to exercise. Pretty busy normally. Great views with a 3.5 mile loop trail around the cove.

Jim Mohler

Back Cove is a tidal bay with a 3.5 mile loop trail completely off road serving walkers, runners, and casual cyclists. It has a park with a series of exercise stations, and many benches placed around the loop trail for those who want to rest and enjoy the view. At high tide the cove is full; at low tide it's mostly mud. It's a great place to be outside near the heart of the city.

C Roush

Super clean free parking nice trail. Walk it all the way around and you'll come to the Maine Narrow Gauge Rail Road. Buy a ticket and help keep Maine history alive!

Jonathan Kong

One of the best scenic routes I've ever run. On a nice sunny day, don't miss a chance to bask in the beauty of the north east at Back Cove bay's trail.

Manju Mathew

Really nice area to walk around. Currently construction is happening so there was no place to really sit down and enjoy the view. Parking lot nearby.

Lucas Brobst

Great sunsets

Topous The Dopest

What a gorgeous park to visit.. This was my first time visiting Portland,Maine and I loved every second of it.. Can't wait to get back on the old greyhound and come back.

Sara Fenton

Nice trail to walk or run on, with a couple water fountains that are on seasonally. If it's hot or sunny out, bring a hat, as there is very little shade.

SUE T.

My Grandson and my puppy and I loved this trail..such a beautiful day to walk it as well.

Rich Earle

Great place to walk or jog. The loop is 3.5 miles long with a bridge walk way connecting . That makes for a water view and breeze the whole trip.

Rebecca Flaherty

A few nice obstacles to try. Wish there was more. Used to have a water fountain at the park that is gone. So fill h2o bottle while walking around the boulevard.

Probably the best jogging trail I've ran on. It's wicked muddy around here after some rain but it is still a nice casual few mile jog.

Jordan Heath

Great place to run. Though with Portland's combined sewer/stormwater system overflowing into the Back Cove, the park can be a little smelly.

ian Long

Best trail in portland for bicycling, jogging, and even strollers (just please dont have double dates with strollers, theres more people on the trail then just you guys!!!)

Roxanne Stevens

It's a great place to walk and enjoy the view as long as the dirt track isn't wet otherwise it's a muddy mess lol

Vinayak

Nice jog/walk path, beautiful views, smells of sewage entering water at places but that's just a small blip.

LESLIE “MAXAMILLION” CRAINE

DURING THE DAY IT IS THE CLOSEST A CITY CAN COME TO A BEACH. THE SPOT WAS DESIGNED AROUND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC AND ON THE BEST DAYS THERE IS PLENTY OF FOOT TRAFFIC.
