Porter Preserve Hike

Discover the history and ecology of Porter Preserve during a leisurely one-mile hike with a naturalist from the Boothbay Region Land Trust. A trail leads through a thick forest, which features old-growth spruce, oak, and pine trees. Several scenic overlooks provide views toward cliffs and ledge rocks where seals can occasionally be seen sunbathing at low tide, while a large sandy beach is flanked by signs of an old homestead. Group will park and meet in the field at Roberts Wharf at the terminus of West Side Road, .2 miles on the left past the main entrance to Porter Preserve. This hike is limited to 15 participants with registration required by filling out the form below or contacting Environmental Educator Tracey Hall at thall@bbrlt.org.
