The Yellow Trail and Battery Point Loop combine to form a 3.7 mile out and back to Battery Point. The trail goes past Milne Pond, and has periodic benches for resting. Hikers will be rewarded at Battery Point with good views across Lake Massabesic. The Yellow Trail is marked with yellow paint, and the Battery Point Loop is marked with red tags.
The Red Trail is a 1 mile loop through fields and forests that is marked with red tags; note that the paths through the field may change location depending on how it is mowed. The Blueberry Point Extension branches off the Red Trail, and features an old Osprey viewing blind.
There are also numerous town owned Fire Roads that branch off of the Audubon maintained trails.
**As of August 2024 please refer to this Updated Massabesic Trail Footprint as we undergo construction, see here for details.**
