QUICK TRAIL FACTS

  • Preserve Size: 220 acres
  • Trail Mileage: 1.3 miles in network
  • Pets: yes
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Sights: Webber Pond, silky dogwood wetland, rare swamp white oaks

This is a short walk that includes 2,200 feet along Webber Pond, a silky dogwood wetland, and rare swamp white oaks, according to the Kennebec Land Trust. I wonder if there is good swimming here in the summer? It looked like it could be when I was here in the dead of winter!

The trail includes a couple of loops, which lead off from a main ATV/snowmobile path that you walk about 1/4 mile to. On the other side of Webber Pond Road is another short trail to a wetland. The land trust says there are unmarked woods roads beyond.

Directions: From Route 201 in Vassalboro, approximately two miles north of the Augusta-Vassalboro line, turn east on Webber Pond Road and go half a mile past the Webber Pond public boat landing to the KLT sign and parking lot. 

Let me know if you have any trail updates or corrections!
