Public Access
Foot travel, such as walking, running, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing, are permitted. Snowmobiles are permitted only in the eastern portion of the property.
There is a 1.4 mile loop trail on the property that includes a portion that travels on the Central Maine Power transmission line. From the parking lot, the trail leads south and follows a stream through thick woods to a range way (this portion is limited to foot traffic only). The loop trail is not well marked, particularly along the CMP power line, so please take care. The trail and signs will be improved in the near future.
Because of the proximity to homes, please refrain from hunting. Camping and kindling fires are prohibited. Mountain bikes and motorized vehicles (except snowmobiles) are also prohibited.
Conservation Purposes
This wooded parcel protects a stream, several areas of wetlands, rocky ledges, and considerable wildlife habitat.
