Saunders Preserve, Boothbay

QUICK TRAIL FACTS

  • Preserve Size: 23 acres
  • Trail Mileage: 1.2 miles in network
  • Pets: yes
  • Difficulty: easy to moderate
  • Sights: brook, beaver pond, wetland, woods

The forested paths, steep in some areas, bring you down to a marsh and along a creek that empties into a small, bucolic cove where sweet water flows into salt water, as my Brazilian friends would say. The 22.5-acre preserve is protected by the Boothbay Region Land Trust. You can do about a 1-mile loop here.

Directions: From the traffic light in Boothbay Harbor, travel 0.9 mile east on Rte. 96. Turn left on Back Narrows Road and travel 2.9 miles north to the stop sign at the intersection with Pleasant Cove Road. There is a small parking area directly across from the stop sign.
