Soon after starting out on this Coastal Mountains Land Trust preserve, you’ll cross a cool, moss-lined stream. Then you can take a left to do the 0.5-mile Hodson Loop around a grove of old sugar maples. Or you can continue straight for 0.9 miles of fairly leisurely uphill walking along the Rheault Trail to blueberry fields.
Once you are on the barrens, the summit of Howe Hill (540 feet) is another 5-10 minutes of walking along the dirt road. Since it’s all open terrain, it’s obvious where the top/end is. There are pretty views all around. You can’t bring dogs.
Directions: From the land trust: From Camden, take Washington Street/Route 105 for 2.5 miles. Turn
left onto Molyneaux Road and drive approximately 0.6 miles to the preserve parking area on the right.
