UPDATE- This trail is currently closed for trailhead and bridge maintenance.
Nearly 40 acres of pristine forest and wetland, offers the visitor the experience of deep woods quiet and beauty not far from downtown Kennebunk. Providing significant wildlife and water protection the area serves as a boggy filter for the Lake Brook watershed. The 1.5 mile trail weaves through forest, extensive fern beds, and bog areas.
Kennebunk Land Trust (KLT) was established in 1972. Kennebunk Land Trust’s mission is to permanently conserve and steward land to benefit natural and human communities. Since its inception, the Trust has worked to protect over 3,400 acres of land through ownership, conservation easement and partnership. To find out about volunteer opportunities with the Trust, please contact them using the information below.
Trail Etiquette – while enjoying the preserve, please help us protect their natural resources by keeping these things in mind:
Trail users should be prepared for inclement weather, wear appropriate footwear and clothing, and bring along water and snacks. Southern Maine does have deer ticks that carry Lyme disease; hikers should always perform “tick checks” on themselves and pets following a trip into the woods.

In addition, there is a big bridge on the circle trail that has been destroyed by beavers. So you cannot walk the circle. You can walk one way almost all the way around and then back. The woman also told me that they want to fix the bridge before the tail re-opens.
