Baxter Woods, Nature park in Portland, Maine, US
The forest trails of Baxter Woods extend through 32 acres of land, featuring a mix of hardwood trees and coniferous vegetation throughout the park grounds.
Governor Percival P. Baxter donated multiple parcels of land between 1931 and 1962, establishing this natural space for public recreation and conservation purposes.
The park functions as an outdoor classroom where local schools conduct nature studies and environmental education programs throughout the academic year.
Two main entrances provide access to the trail network, with parking areas located near Stevens Avenue and Forest Avenue for visitor convenience.
The park maintains strict conservation rules that protect native plant species while allowing visitors to observe local wildlife in their natural habitat.
