Description

The Law Farm Loop Trail is a self-guided interpretive trail, just over a mile long. Starting at the trailhead by the parking lot, the trail passes the Children's Garden and joins the Bog Walk Trail, which connects to a boardwalk overlooking a northern white cedar wetland. This area offers a peaceful spot to enjoy wildlife on the observation deck.

The Law Farm Loop Trail continues on from the observation deck, marked with white blazes, arrows and educational signs along the path. The trail comes to a winding end behind an organic Christmas tree stand, planted through the "Kids and Trees" program. Also near the end of the trail is the most northern American chestnut germplasm orchard in the United States, which can be viewed from the picnic area near the parking lot where the loop trail connects back to the trailhead.

Other Information

Please follow a "leave no trace" policy and stay on the trail to minimize your impact on the land. Pets are welcome as long as the owner has them under their control. There is no hunting allowed on the property. The Law Farm was donated to the Piscataquis County SWCD in 2009 from the Law family to carry out the mission of managing the forest and teaching others about the importance of stewardship of our natural resources.
