GREAT FOR KIDS
This spectacular 95-acre preserve provides one of the longest hiking trails in Harpswell. A challenging 1.5-mile loop trail winds through several different forest types, passes a peat bog nestled between two prominent bedrock ridges, and finally descends to the shores of Long Reach. Long Reach itself is a submerged valley, and at low water, tidal mudflats. From the shore, visitors can look across to dramatic cliffs of weathered bedrock, at the top of which is the Cliff Trail.
For a variety of recreational offerings, Mitchell Field can’t be beat. This 120-acre former U.S. Navy fuel depot is owned by the Town of Harpswell and boasts several miles of paved and gravel paths, a sandy beach, a bandstand that hosts outdoor concerts and the Harpswell Community Garden. It’s a great place for walking, bicycling, swimming, cross-country skiing, picnicking and so much more. On clear days, you can see Mount Washington 80 miles to the west.
