The City of South Portland built this paved bicycle and pedestrian path that connects South Portland parks and neighborhoods from the Wainwright Recreation Complex to Bug Light Park and the Spring Point Shoreway. The Greenbelt is also the northern terminus of the Eastern Trail that will eventually connect south all the way to Kittery , and is part of the East Coast Greenway. During summer months public toilets are available at Bug Light and Willard Beach.
The trail passes through the Mill Creek shopping district and residential areas. At the intersection of Madison Street and Breakwater Drive the trail divides, leading to Bug Light Park or along the shoreline where it forms the Spring Point Shoreway Trail.
