Peak preserve | The Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram
IF YOU GO
WHAT: Beech Hill Preserve, Coastal Mountains Land Trust’s
cornerstone preserve and an unusual place in the midcoast region.
WHEN: The preserve is open year-round; the hut is open two
days a week from May through October.
WHERE: In Rockport off Beech Hill Road, between routes 1 and
17.
HIKING IT: It’s just three-quarters of a mile on the old
farm road from the parking area to the stone hut.
WHAT ELSE: Walkers must stay on the path and dogs must be on
leashes. This is important to allow the land trust to continue the organic
farming effort on the blueberry fields.

My name is Keith Michaud and this is “Letters From Away,” a blog written by a Mainer living outside the comfortable and sane confines of New England. The blog is intended for Mainers, whether they live in the Pine Tree State or beyond, and for anyone who has loved ’em, been baffled by ’em or both. Ayuh, I am “from away.” Worse still, I live on the Left Coast – in California. Enjoy! Or not. Your choice.
