This preserve has an idyllic 1-mile loop trail on a 69-acre preserve that takes you to the shores of three rivers: the Presumpscot River and the east and west branches of the Piscataqua River. Falmouth Land Trust has put up signs explaining the history of this spot. Once a Native American camp, it became a farm, and then, seemingly, almost a shopping mall! (It abuts a shopping center.) You can hike from here to the McCrann Preserve for a longer trek. The open fields are dotted with bird houses.
Dogs aren’t allowed!
Directions: Park at the Hannafords at the Falmouth Crossing Shopping Center on Routes 26/100, just opposite Maine Turnpike/I-95 Exit 53. If you face Hannaford, you’ll see a wooden overpass that takes you to the kiosk and trailhead.
