These 24 acres preserved on Woodward Cove ensure access to the mudflats for clammers and wormers. A 0.1-mile trail takes you to the reedy-lined tidal cove, which, save for one big prominent home, feels undeveloped, and is quiet and pretty. The short lollipop-shaped trail on the preserve includes a ledgy high point where you can see the water through trees. The traffic from Route 24, a major road to Harpswell, was loud.
Directions: From Maine Street in Brunswick, driving north, turn right just before the river onto Route 1 North. Take the exit for Cooks Corner. Go straight at the light after the off ramp, staying on Gurnet Rd (Route 24). Continue south on Route 24 for 2.2 miles. Turn left into gravel parking area on the left side of the road. It’s easy to miss!
