Eastern Knubble Trail
Cutler, Maine
Home >Seacoast > Eastern Knubble Trail in Cutler, Maine
The wooded promontories of
Eastern Knubble and Western Head enclose the entrance to the harbor of
Cutler, Maine village. The
Eastern Knubble, of approximately 30 acres, was acquired by the Maine Coast
Heritage Trust (MCHT) several years ago.
This trail travels along the shoreline of the northern shore of Little River in Cutler, Maine. The path is well-maintained and exists on a plot of land that is densely wooded. The summit of Eastern Knubble rises to 151 feet; however the trail sticks to the shoreline. There is no marked path to the summit. The village center of Cutler is 2.6 miles away. To the south of Eastern Knubble one can see across the Little River the Western Head Preserve (another Maine Coast Heritage Trust preserve).

seen in this photo of a stairway made with stones along a steep area. Work on the trail is done by crews for the Maine Coast Heritage Trust (MCHT).1.

Head Preserve
located across the Little River

This small Island found at end of Eastern Knubble
Trail is referred to on some maps as Little River Ledge. At this point, after exploring the little island, your hike is over and you double back along the same trail to Route 191. Someone more adventorous might try
to find a way to the top of Eastern Knubble (there is no known path).
