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.
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.

From ME-15 in Dover-Foxcroft, turn onto North Street. After 463 feet, turn right onto Summer Street, which becomes ME-16/ME-6 E (Milo Road). Travel on this road for 2.5 miles then turn right onto Lee Cemetery Road. The parking lot is on the right, and trailhead is located just past the parking lot straight into the woods. Additional parking can be found just before Lee Cemetery Road on the right.

The trail is very wet right now (resulting in a wet sock!) and there are a few fallen trees blocking the path - but still very manageable and the entire family had a great time.
It is very obvious as you walk it that someone spent a lot of time and effort making it a great trail for kids - much appreciated!
