 The preserve land has seen human activity since prehistoric times. In the 19th century, the land was cleared for farming, resulting in the creation of the stone walls found throughout the property. The landscape is dominated by red pine. Hike The Dodge Point Trail is a combination of forest road (the “Old Farm Road”) and spur trails that allow you to stay close to the river. It starts on the farm road heading east towards the river, then bends south along the river. After 1.5 miles or so the trail turns west then back north to return to the trailhead for a nice 3 mile plus loop over easy terrain. You are under a canopy of trees typical of Maine throughout the hike. The river is on your left for about a third of the hike with a few worn paths you can use to go down to play in the water.
