LaVerna Preserve - Hiking Area
Nature preserve
👍👍 I found this place on Google maps, looking for something to do before going on a Hardy Boat Tour. The parking lot is small and no roadside parking is allowed. You walk about 20 minutes from the road to the entry. From there we walked about 20-25 more minutes and got to the coast. We brought picnic l...

Bates–Morse Mountain Conservation Area
Nature preserve
👍👍 The semi-private Seawall Beach is, bar none, the most pristine and unspoiled I've ever had the pleasure to access in New England. It's almost a polar opposite of the sometimes overcrowded Popham beach state park nearby. An amazing experience, requiring at least half a day to make it worthwhile. The...

Bald Mountain Preserve
Nature preserve
👍👍 Bald rock is a nice hike. It's not to long and fairly easy going. Access is also easy to find. There is a bit of a steeper section but not bad . I managed it with snow and ice still on the ground. Once you make the hike to the top you are awarded with spectacular views of camden harbour and beyond....

Borestone Summit
Nature preserve
😐 For a hike with two peaks each just shy of 2,000 feet, the trail was surprisingly steep in parts. Particularly from the ponds up. I wish the entrance to the trail that parallels the road was more visible. I missed it on the way up and ended up taking the dirt road to the ponds.

Step Falls Preserve Mahoosuc Land Trust
Nature preserve
👍👍 This was an amazing place to visit! There is a recommended donation to the preserve and there can be limited parking, but the short .4-.6 mi, easy uphill hike was WELL worth it. We've had a great deal of rain this summer which created several places where you can slide down the rock and see beautifu...

Ovens Mouth Preserves
Nature preserve
👍👍 My ABSOLUTELY favorite trail in the Boothbay Regional Land Trust system! It's amazingly gorgeous. Sweeping water views combined with wide woodsy interior trails. Ovens mouth east is a shorter and easier hike. Ovens mouth west has more inclines and is quite a bit longer. Combine them both for a great...

Potts Point Preserve
Nature preserve
👍👍 1/15/21 - Spent 30 minutes here late afternoon with no wind, lots of ocean going birds around. Enjoyed watching the buffleheads feeding, would have liked to chase away the herring gull pestering them. Two loons in winter plumage, red breasted mergansers, eiders, goldeneyes, and a bald eagle. For...
