I really enjoyed the 10-stop nature walk that the Midcoast Conservancy has created for this walk. Pick up a pamphlet at the trailhead and learn about witch hazel, rattlesnake plantain and beech bark disease, among other topics, as you walk along the approximately one-mile trail. The preserve, which borders the Marsh River, is 70 acres.

Directions: Follow Route 1 North from Wiscasset for 4.5 miles. Turn left onto Osprey Point Road and bear left onto Eagle Point Road. Follow to the cul-de-sac at the end and park. From the North: Follow Route 1 South. Turn right onto Osprey Point Road at the top of the hill just past the Sherman Lake Rest Area. Bear left onto Eagle Point Road. Follow to the cul-de sac at the end and park.

Let me know if you have any trail updates or corrections!
