Casco Bay Lines is one of the oldest ferry systems in the country. Nearly 150 years ago, we transported summer visitors to cottages and luxurious hotels on the islands of Casco Bay. Wooden steamers with coal fired engines transported up to 1,000 passengers at a time. That's a lot of time out on Casco Bay!

⚠️TEMPORARY TRAIL CLOSURE NOTICE⚠️ Unitil is planning to temporarily close the Tukey’s Bridge section of the Back Cove Trail for gas line maintenance work for approximately 12 days starting next week. We’ll share information about the exact closing and re-opening dates, but for the timeliest updates, check Unitil’s page.

Unfortunately, this closure will disrupt the daily commutes of the trail users who rely on this part of the trail. However, Greater Portland Metro is offering free bus rides during the closure for commuters who board the bus at any of the following stops:

Washington Avenue at Eastern Prom (Route 7, 9B)
Washington Avenue at Galvin Street (Route 9A)
Veranda Street/Sherwood Street Inbound (Route 7)

If you’re a cyclist, the buses have bike racks to assist with transport.

The rest of the trail will remain open!
