The cedar forests are remarkable on this 42-acre Island Heritage Trust preserve, which also includes a meadow and a high rocky outcrop called Spinney Ledge. You can make a couple of loops along the trail network, as well as head out on a 0.6-mile spur. But the highlights are concentrated on the Meadow, Spinney Loop, Big Pine Loop, and Blaster trails. Expect roots, rocks, and some ups and downs over exposed ledge in the forest.
Directions: Shortly after the bridge to Deer Isle, take a right onto Eggmoggin Road. In .2 miles, turn left onto Blastow Cove Road. Go 1 mile to the preserve trail head and parking area on your right.
