Turkey Hill Farm Trail

This is an interesting Cape Elizabeth Land Trust property close to the Shore Acres neighborhood, used mostly by neighbors. When I visited, the trails were unmarked, and it was unclear where the preserve boundaries began and ended. The trails seemed to continue on to someone’s private land — someone who didn’t seem to mind people walking there — and up to two dilapidated military towers — the Trundy Point Observation Towers — from WWII. I’ve tried to show the trails that I think are mostly on land trust property.

Directions: The best place to access these trails is from Old Ocean House Road, close to where it meets Trundy Road. Or you can go down Avon Road, which dead ends at a water tower and close to the small trail system. Parking is available at several areas inside the property along the dirt road loop to the old Turkey Hill Farm.
