Hiking Trails & Beacheshiking

Get back to nature on Point Lookout’s miles of beautiful hiking trails, open all year long! Trail maps are available at the Fitness Center front desk and the Welcome Center. The trails are not paved and have varying levels of difficulty and terrain. If you would like assistance on choosing the trail that is right for you, please contact the Fitness Center at 207-789-2011 we will be happy to help. All trails are equipped with emergency call boxes for your safety. We always recommend the walk back to Knights Pond, a five mile lake located on the back of our property, offering a quiet beach, swimming, and picnic area.
