This is a quick 0.75-mile trail up switchbacks to a pretty lookout, at roughly ~1,101 feet. There are radio towers at the top. Someone had flagged a rough path (with ribbons) over the other side of the mountain. But if you do this, you have to walk back to the parking lot along Route 105. This 27-acre preserve is protected by the Coastal Mountains Land Trust.
Directions: From Camden, follow Washington Street/Route 105 out of Camden to Hope Center. Take a left onto Hatchet Mountain Road and drive just over 1/2 mile. The small 2-3 car parking lot for the Preserve is located on the right-hand side of the road.
