This little gem of a walk is located just off ME Route 35 leads to a glacial boulder and the banks of the Kennebunk River. In earlier times, the boulder, known as Picnic Rock, was a well-known spot where boaters traveling the river would stop and picnic. The preserve is now enjoyed by people of all ages as a stop on a kayak excursion or to hike.
Kennebunk Land Trust (KLT) was established in 1972. Kennebunk Land Trust’s mission is to permanently conserve and steward land to benefit natural and human communities. Since its inception, the Trust has worked to protect over 3,400 acres of land through ownership, conservation easement and partnership. To find out about volunteer opportunities with the Trust, please contact them using the information below.
Trail Etiquette – while enjoying the preserve, please help us protect their natural resources by keeping these things in mind:
Trail users should be prepared for inclement weather, wear appropriate footwear and clothing, and bring along water and snacks. Southern Maine does have deer ticks that carry Lyme disease; hikers should always perform “tick checks” on themselves and pets following a trip into the woods.
