Pride Walk at Erickson Fields

During the month of June, Maine Coast Heritage Trust and OUT Maine will celebrate Pride Month with a self-guided Pride Walk along a 1.4-mile loop trail in the woods at Erickson Fields Preserve, 164 West Street, Rockport.

The Pride Walk features LGBTQ+ and allied youth creative pieces in a series of display cases along a wooded 1.4-mile loop trail at Erickson Fields Preserve.

The loop trail at Erickson Fields is open to the public seven days a week, sunrise to sunset. The trail winds from the parking lot past MCHT’s Teen Ag Crew food-bank farm and the community gardens at Erickson Fields. Come see community agriculture in action!

The broad trail covers gentle changes in elevation and footing and and is accessible to strollers.

Dog Policy

Dogs are welcome at Erickson Fields!

• Dogs are allowed off-leash from sunrise to 9:00 am in designated areas of the trail. Outside of those hours and when off the trail, pets must be leashed at all times.
