Wonderbrook Park

Cold
clear
and
quiet
Wonderbrook Park is a eighty acre tract of land that is a combination of two donations. One by the Wellman family in 1994 and the Murphy family in 1997. The park is now part of the Kennebunk Land Trust.
The park has one main trail that sort of wanders around through the woods. I’ve actually only been here in the winter but of course it is open all year long. I imagine it gets really buggy in the spring and has a whole different feel and look during the warmer months.
Unfortunately the small parking lot isn’t plowed in the snowy season and parking can be iffy. Dogs are allowed as long as they are well behaved and the owners clean up and mountain bikes are also permitted to use the trails although it can get very muddy and narrow in here so the biking can be technical.
Lots of lovely old trees and ferns, in the winter the entire place is dead quiet, peaceful and eerie. I’ve never seen another person here but I suspect that in the warmer months it gets lots of use.
It does get icy and difficult in the winter but in heavy snow it would be a nice place to snow shoe or cross country ski as long as the skier is really good at turning and stopping.
Wonderbrook is a cool and peaceful little park that offers a lot of different things to do throughout the year. A nice park to find some quiet and solitude.
