Day trip to Monhegan Island: Coastal hiking, cliffside yoga + Monhegan Brewing

You don't HAVE to take a 50-minute ferry ride to Monhegan Island to enjoy a day of spectacular hiking along high cliffs and rocky coastline followed by a cold beer in the sunshine at a local brewery. But it'd be a lot cooler if you did.

Walk the boardwalk, jog the bog at stunning Saco Heath in Saco

The 1-mile trail begins in the woods before the boardwalk begins, winding its way through the trees until the views open up in the bog and the boardwalk can shoot out straight ahead. It's mostly flat the whole way, making this trek an easy walk/hike for folks who want to take in the Maine outdoors in leisurely fashion.
