This wonderful 356-acre preserve includes much of Pismire Mountain and its cliffs, from which you can take in the views of Rattlesnake Mountain and Crescent Lake, and the blue hills beyond. The climb up to the viewpoint is short (about .7 miles), but steep. Beyond the view, you can do a .7-mile loop through the forest.
On the west side Conesca Road are two miles of easier trails through forest.

Directions: The preserve parking lot, on Conesca Road, is about .75-mile from the intersection with Raymond Hill Road. If you’re coming from the other direction, from Route 11, take Edwards Road or Freeman Road to Conesca Road. You’ll see the trail crossing (across Conesca Road) before you come to the parking lot, which is just a little ways ahead on your right.
