Camden, Knox County

QUICK TRAIL FACTS

  • Preserve Size: 66 acres
  • Trail Mileage: Perimeter, 1.5 miles

As you can see from my map, there are a lot of trails at this 66-acre nonprofit center! The Nature Center has really great map resources.

I recommend walking the perimeter of the park, along trail 1, and also checking out the lovely gardens. No dogs allowed, and there is no fee to walk here. A lot of interesting programs take place at Merryspring; it seems like a wonderful resource.

Directions: Merryspring Nature Center is at the end of Conway Road, 3/10 of a mile off Route 1. Conway Road is the first left after Hannaford, or if you’re coming from downtown Camden, it is the first right before the Hannaford grocery store.

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