This 1.4-mile loop takes you to the summit of Pisgah Hill (where there is just a bit of a view through trees. But it is still lovely and peaceful). As you walk up the easy to moderate climb to reach the summit, you’ll pass some sun-drenched, lichen-covered ledges, good places to rest. The trails are all well built and well marked.
There is also a 0.3-mile trail across the way that takes you to the power line and the large un-trailed part of the preserve.
Directions: The two trailheads can be found roughly at 74 Dougherty Road, and 161 North Pownal Road. From ME231 (Intervale Road), proceed south 0.5 miles on Dougherty Road and then look for a four-car parking lot the left. Alternatively, from Pownal, head north on Chadsey Road (dirt) from Allen Road for 0.8 miles. Chadsey (dirt) becomes Dougherty (paved) at the town line. Look for a four car parking lot on the right.
