Evergreen Cemetery Woods Loop

Evergreen Cemetery Woods Loop follows a 1.38-mile circuit in Portland, Maine, with about 101 feet of recorded elevation gain. The route starts and finishes at Evergreen Cemetery Trail Access, then travels through the woods west of the cemetery. Its mileage and gain describe this recorded circuit within the larger trail network.

The official Evergreen Trails map shows the Evergreen Loop, the Forest City Trail and several connecting paths through this woodland. Intersections offer different ways to extend a walk or reach nearby neighborhoods, making the route map useful for following this particular circuit back to its starting access.

Evergreen Woods brings forest, wetlands and ponds into the city landscape. Portland Trails describes natural earth, rock ledges and boardwalks across the network, along with a separate improved-access loop surfaced with stone dust. Grades and surfaces vary between trails; the characteristics of that improved-access loop do not describe every connecting path. Maine Trail Finder also notes exposed roots on the woodland trails.

The surrounding cemetery landscape dates to the nineteenth century, and its forest and ponds provide habitat for wildlife and migratory birds. This setting gives a short woodland outing both natural and historic context. Route measurements come from the recorded hike; landscape and trail character are drawn from Portland Trails, the official maps and local public guides. The linked Portland Trails guidance provides current access information.
