Enjoy quiet in the heart of Bangor when you visit this 182-acre preserve of forest and fields. A narrow, but fairly level, 2-mile trail composed of two loops is open to foot traffic only (skis and snowshoes are okay too). The trail begins alongside a good stand of tamarack trees -- golden at the right time of the year -- and passes a wide variety of trees, wildflowers, ferns, mosses and lichens. At its far end, the trail crosses a field of milkweed to access a scenic view of Penjajawoc Marsh which attracts an abundance of birds, especially during the spring and fall migrations.
This trail passes through a property that was acquired in part with funds from the Land for Maine’s Future program. For more information about the LMF program and the places it has helped to protect, please visit the LMF webpage.
