Really nice area to walk around. Currently construction is happening so there was no place to really sit down and enjoy the view. Parking lot nearby.

About 3.6 miles if you run 1 lap but you can pick up extra traffic-free mileage by heading under the bridge out towards eastern promenade. Been a favorite spot for many years.

Super clean free parking nice trail. Walk it all the way around and youll come to the Maine Narrow Gauge Rail Road. Buy a ticket and help keep Maine history alive!

An incredible dirt walking path around back bay. Always busy - walkers, runners kids in bikes.

My dog and I love it when a day trip to Portland includes a walk around Back Cove. The only thing missing is more trash cans on the walk, to dispose of droppings and it would be great if all the dog water fountains worked.. but we plan accordingly now.

I like to bike around the 3 and a half mile trail around the cove.

Beautiful path around the cove

Great place to visit and good place to go and just be in the moment.

There is no more park they are building a building.

What a gorgeous park

DURING THE DAY IT IS THE CLOSEST A CITY CAN COME TO A BEACH. THE SPOT WAS DESIGNED AROUND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC AND ON THE BEST DAYS THERE IS PLENTY OF FOOT TRAFFIC.

Nice relaxing place near a not so relaxing city.

A few nice obstacles to try. Wish there was more. Used to have a water fountain at the park that is gone. So fill h2o bottle while walking around the boulevard.

Nice open space for people to roam around, play etc... The highway is nearby so if youre looking for a quiet place this might not be it.Dont forget its a good idea to check with landowners and the town parks and rec. before entering property, you never know who will get upset these days.

This is my favorite place to bike. From here me and my husband go to Portland have lunch or dinner and come back.

Good place for a walk

Great trail for walking, running and biking (even on a cloudy Easter day!)

Great place to walk..

Nice place to jog, run or walk

Its a great place to walk and enjoy the view as long as the dirt track isnt wet otherwise its a muddy mess lol

Its pretty good.

Back Cove is a tidal bay with a 3.5 mile loop trail completely off road serving walkers, runners, and casual cyclists. It has a park with a series of exercise stations, and many benches placed around the loop trail for those who want to rest and enjoy the view. At high tide the cove is full; at low tide its mostly mud. Its a great place to be outside near the heart of the city.

Back Cove is a nice walking, running, and biking trail along the Back Cove in Portland. The trail is about 4 miles around. Be careful on the narrow bits as bikers and runners are fairly likely to sneak up on you. The scenery around the cove is nice, but a little lacking when the tide is low and it gets a bit smelly. The houses around the North side are very nice and I much prefer that section. Great for dog walks as well. A great way to get some fresh air away from the insanity of downtown.

Great open space with an enjoyable jogging path around the water.

Great place to bring the family or to go fishing.

Had a blast like to go there again

Needs a little work. But its a very nice long walking area

If you like the ocean breeze,,,, here you go

Walk walk... walk. Oh my goodness. Too much walking.

Nice place for running

Best trail in portland for bicycling, jogging, and even strollers (just please dont have double dates with strollers, theres more people on the trail then just you guys!!!)

Beautiful space, I love it here.

Sweet views...

Great

Love this place

One of the best scenic routes Ive ever run. On a nice sunny day, dont miss a chance to bask in the beauty of the north east at Back Cove bays trail.

Probably the best jogging trail Ive ran on. Its wicked muddy around here after some rain but it is still a nice casual few mile jog.

Great for a run.

Daughter loves to walk here. Loves the park.

Definite favorite short run spot. Lots of people watching, nearly six kilometers around.

Nice walk path

Very good

There is plenty of parking, so even when its crowded you can still find a parking space. The park has an obstacle course you can run through and the trail is about 3.5 miles long. The views are beautiful all around the trail. When the tide is low, it gets a bit smelly, but theres usually a good breeze.

Nice trail to walk or run on, with a couple water fountains that are on seasonally. If its hot or sunny out, bring a hat, as there is very little shade.

Nice jog/walk path, beautiful views, smells of sewage entering water at places but thats just a small blip.

I refuse to accept that this is called the Back Cove. Its the Bay. The Back Bay.

Well maintained and a nice trail/course right of of 295 and main roads.

Not in the best shape. Right next to the highway. Lots of noise and people usually block the path by standing around.

Great place to run. Though with Portlands combined sewer/stormwater system overflowing into the Back Cove, the park can be a little smelly.

Its a good place to run, walk, jog and just hang out

Great place to walk or jog. The loop is 3.5 miles long with a bridge walk way connecting . That makes for a water view and breeze the whole trip.

A lovely little park by Portlands beautiful back bay.

Nice place to run in the summer. Especially in the morning

Beautiful sunset. Soccer fields and jogging trail.

Cool place to check out when its nice and sunny!

Nice walking trails.

Great trails

One of the best places to go jogging in Portland.

Okay

Yes
