Join Maine Health’s Community Health program and Coastal Mountains Land Trust for a Happy Wanderers Hike on Thursday, Nov. 6, at 10 a.m., at the Fernalds Neck Preserve. 

This is a moderate 3.1-mile loop, which includes hemlock groves, glacial erratics, stands of mature pines. This preserve is known to provide a plethora of mushrooms, at this time of year. If some participants feel like a shorter hike, there will be an opportunity to make this hike a 2-mile loop.

 Hunting is not allowed on this preserve, but hunter orange is still encouraged. Please note, dogs are not allowed on this preserve. 

Directions: From Lincolnville Center, take Rt. 52 south for 2 miles, then turn right onto Fernalds Neck road. Follow this road to its end, staying left at the fork. From Camden, take Rt. 52/Mountain Street north for 5.8 miles, turning left onto Fernalds Neck Road.  Please drive slowly and use the parking lot, so there aren’t any vehicles parked along the road.
