This is an easy 1-mile loop in the woods, protected by Great Works Regional Land Trust, with a bench overlooking part of Bauneg Beg Pond — the headwaters of the Great Works River! The other side of the pond is built up with houses, so it’s wonderful that this corner has been preserved.
Additionally, you can check out the kettle hole, a relic of the time when Maine was covered by glaciers. It was formed when a piece of ice broke off, got buried by sediments, and melted. These days, the hole looks like a small marshy area.
Directions: From North Berwick center heading Northeast on Route 4 for approximately 2.7 miles take a left onto Morrills Mill Road. Drive on Morrills Mill Road for approximately 2 miles until you reach West Fifth Street, take this right. Parking for Grover-Herrick Preserve will be on the left of this road about a quarter mile down the road.
