Eastern Promenade

The Eastern Prom Trail is the jewel of Portland Trails network. Paved waterfront trail used by thousands to walk, bike, run, swim in downtown Portland.

Portland is Maine's largest city, and the Eastern Promenade Trail along Casco Bay offers an ideal introduction to this coastal town and its trail network. The "East Prom" begins in Old Port, a charming waterfront district with cobblestone streets and working piers. A massive brick foundry that once turned out steam engines now houses the trailside Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Company & Museum.

Friends of the Eastern Promenade, founded in 2006, is a nonprofit community organization committed to park stewardship. Our mission is to preserve the park’s significant historic public landscape, protect its environmental integrity, and enhance its recreational use.

The Eastern Promenade Trail is mostly flat, with a slight rise near the Water Treatment Plant and another near Tukey’s Bridge, where it connects to
