Description

Plummer Point is a gem of DRA’s preserve system. Originally a gift to The Nature Conservancy from the Richardson Family, the preserve is now held in trust by the DRA. Several loop options are available and a winter weather cut-off called the West Ridge Trail helps avoid steep slopes in slippery conditions. 

Other Information

Access the preserve by walking up the driveway, but please do not proceed beyond the sign marking private property at the tip of the point. The Preserve is open dawn to dusk. No camping or fires permitted. Please do not gather plants, flowers, mosses, or other natural souvenirs and please carry out what you carry in. To prevent erosion, please keep to marked trails, especially in steeper areas.

To protect wildlife and for the sake of other visitors, dogs must be leashed or otherwise under control at all times.

Nice little hike through the woods. Did this with a 5 and 1 year old (in hiking backpack). Part of the path is very narrow and the footing is loose. Nice views of the water. Trail loops around and comes out further up a driveway.
