Trail Description:
Leave Wild River Campground and
follow the Wild River Trail to the south
following an old railroad grade along the
banks of the Wild River to Spider Bridge,
(2.7 miles). Cross Wild River on Spider
Bridge and turn north (right), on the
Highwater Trail which follows the west
bank of the river. There are many vistas
of Wild River and the mountains to the
east along this section of trail. At the
Wild River Bridge north of Moriah Brook,
cross Wild River again to the east side,
turn north (left) back to the campground.
The Wild River area has a rich history that includes the boom of the old logging
days and the site of L.L. Bean�s hunting
camp, where the Maine Hunting Shoe
was conceived and tested. Can you
imagine the sights and sounds of the
bygone era as hike down the old logging
railroad bed?
