This preserve is a forested 90-acre tract with over 2,000 feet of frontage along the Kennebunk River. The trail provides access to the adjacent Eastern Trail along an old railroad bed. Wildlife on this property is abundant, and moose, deer, and fox have been seen along with numerous bird species including Great Gray and Northern Saw-whet Owls. Warblers are abundant during migration.
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.
