I am retired and have been doing a lot of hiking with my dog Kelley. Kelley has done all the peaks in Acadia National Park as well as those in Camden and the Donnell Pond and Monteville area. We have also done Big and Little Moose, Petit Manan and the Cutler Coast. We hope that other hikers will share hikes they have enjoyed.

6/6/12 Newport-Dover-Foxcroft Rail Trail
Another day with rain predicted and with all the rain we have had we were looking for somewhere with good draining. The rail trail seemed a good candidate and was. The trail was mostly dry but there was lots of water along side and in the marshy areas for Kelley.
We started at the Dover-Foxcroft end and almost immediately you cross the Piscataquis River
Kelley soon found water to get into
We found lots of nice reflections
A Tiger Swallowtail- thanks John
Another stream we crossed
Wild Columbine
There were a lot of these and they were very small- about 1/2 " long
A Christmas tree farm we passed on the way home.
In spite of threatening clouds and a prediction of rain we managed a very nice 3 1/2 hour hike.

















Lots of nice photos! Good hike.
