"The Cliff Trail follows Strawberry Creek—a narrow tidal inlet—to a small waterfall at its head, then passes the salt marsh at the head of Henry Creek before crossing a rocky ridge to the shore of Long Reach. The trail climbs along Long Reach to the top of 150-foot-high cliffs with fine views. Beyond the cliffs the trail descends through woods filled with fairy houses to the trailhead.

Behind the Harpswell Town Hall, the Cliff Trail follows
Strawberry Creek north to a small waterfall at its head. The
creek—really a narrow tidal inlet—winds through a salt marsh hemmed in by dark evergreens. The trail continues through hardwoods to the salt marsh at the head of Henry Creek. Past the marsh, the trail climbs a rocky ridge of weathered sedimentary rock rusty with age."

--Greg Westrich, Best Easy Day Hikes Portland, Maine (Falcon Guides).

"This scenic loop hike features lovely cliff-top views over tidal Long Reach and a fairy house village. Cliff Trail is located on 205 acres of Harpswell town property assembled in
three purchases between 1978 and 2002 and bounded by Strawberry Creek, Henry’s Marsh, Long Reach, and Mountain Road.

Though originally intended for affordable housing, municipal buildings, recreation, and conservation, the land’s ridges, cliffs, streams, and wetlands made the property unsuitable
for development. While the portion of land fronting on Mountain Road was eventually developed, the remaining acreage was preserved for low-impact recreation and wildlife habitat."
