Huston Landing offers a short walk from the roadside parking spot, down a sloping bank (be mindful of watching for the tree blazes) to a wondrous view. (Since I last visited, the walk has been turned into a loop.) The small preserve is protected by the Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust. According to Maine Trail Finder, Huston Landing is named for the spot where, in 1740, the Huston family settled after landing just to the south.
Directions: From US Route 1 in Damariscotta head south on ME Route 129 for 1.6 miles. A preserve sign marks a small pull-off on the right.
