Very disappointing as far as bird sanctuaries go. Decent trail for a family.

The Stanwood wildlife sanctuary is truly a beautifully preserved piece of natural beauty right in the heart of Ellsworth Maine. I highly recommend bringing your kids here for a leisurely stroll on the trails or enjoying your lunch break in the picnic area.

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, and it’s always been one of my favorite places to go. It’s always been an educational experience, and the trails have provided many years of escape from the chaos of the city and waves of tourist. It’s not always the happiest experience, since this is a place that takes care of birds that have suffered trauma and often rehabilitation and release aren’t an option. This is a place where they can survive, and live the best life they can.

I took my kids yesterday. I use to go on the trails a lot as a kids but haven't been in years. We got completely lost and it 2 hours and 30 minutes to get back. The trails need to be fixed. One path wasn't passable. We found a broken bridge. We called them to ask for help but the person who answered wasn't sure because she hasn't done the trails but she did send someone to look for us. We made it back before them. We did see different kinds of mushrooms that the kids liked looking for. And we looked at some of the birds.
