New accessible nature trail unveiled in Brunswick

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • October 22, 2025

A new trail at Woodward Point Preserve in Brunswick aims to make the outdoors more welcoming. Andy’s Trail — named for Dr. Andrew Cook, who along with his wife contributed the farmland that would become Woodward Point Preserve — is now open to the public. The half-mile, 5-to-7-foot-wide, packed-stone surface was built to comply with U.S. Forest Service and Architectural Barriers Act accessibility guidelines. That meant constructing the trail with suitable slope for wheelchair users and people with other mobility constraints, and using hard, durable materials.
