I love this walk. While this tract of land, also known as Gregory Sanborn Wildlife Management Area, does not have a trail system maintained by a conservation organization and the wide roads through the wildlife management area attract four-wheelers, it is worth visiting, at least for the birdlife. And it really is peaceful.
Pleasant Mountain and other hills provide the bog’s backdrop view. If you walk from Bog Road to Walkers Fall Road, it’s over four miles. And there are swimming spots in the Saco River if it is a scorcher!
Directions: If you’re coming from Brownfield on Route 160, take a left onto Lords Hill Road. Bog Road is almost immediately on your left. It is a dirt road, and you can park at the gate or continue to the small shack and turnaround. From there, walk along the road all the way to Saco River if you wish. There are some small detours.
