The Black Loop Trail at Clifford Park in Biddeford, Maine is an easy 1.4-mile loop trail that features large rock outcroppings and passes through the woods of Clifford Park.

The trail begins at the parking lot and heads into Clifford Park following black blazes. The trail eventually takes a left-hand turn and heads up a small hill toward the rock outcroppings. Once at the top of the hill, you'll pass large rock outcroppings and some vernal pools of water which often harbor mosquitoes.

The hike continues on following the black blazes - be sure to keep an eye out  for the blazes since you'll be passing other blaze colors and trails along the way. They're not too difficult to follow though.

Eventually, the trail will loop back to the spur trail that leads into the loop. Take the spur trail out and follow the black blazes back to parking.

Parking: Parking can be found at the main lot at the coordinates provided. The lot is large enough to hold about 15 cars.

Bugs: This trail can be very buggy during the warmer months due to stagnant pools of water that sit near some of the rock outcroppings. If you plan to hike this trail, or any trails at Clifford Park during the Summer, plan to bring bug spray.

Pets: Dogs are allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
