Lachance Point Trail is an easy hike of about 1.1 miles, an out-and-back that rises roughly 24 feet from a low point of 189 feet to a high of 218 feet. It sits within Orris Falls I, a non-governmental organization-managed land unit in southern Maine. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Cape Neddick weather station show July and August highs around 79°F with lows near 60°F, and September highs around 71°F with the fewest wet days of the year, at about eight. The trail is close to several other hikes. Orris Falls Trail, River Gorge Trail and Big Bump Trail are each about 0.1 mile away, and Patti's Way is about 0.2 mile off.
