The quarter-mile Maho Bay Goat Trail connects the Maho Bay Campground at Little Maho Bay with the North Shore Road serving as a shortcut between the North Shore Road at Big Maho Bay Beach and the Campground at Little Maho Bay.

The trail begins near the northern portion of the beach at Big Maho Bay where the road turns sharply to the right and inland.

It is a ten to fifteen minute uphill walk from Big Maho Bay to the campground. On the upper portions of the trail, you will be treated to excellent views of Maho Bay Beach and the north shore of St. John. The two tamarind trees at the top of the trail provide a shady place to sit and rest on the exposed roots between the two trees.

The trail ends below the commissary at Maho Bay Campground. From here the beach at Little Maho can be reached by a series of wooden stairs down to the bay.
