WATER ACCESS
If you love exploring the ocean shoreline, this tiny preserve has just about everything you could want. There are extensive tide pools to explore, a gravel beach, and dramatic views of Casco Bay. Standing at the southern tip of the preserve, you can enjoy an unparalleled view of some of the islands that make Casco Bay so special including: Haskell, Pinkham, Bailey, Upper Flag, Thumcap, and Eagle Islands. This is a great place to explore with your family, relax on the beach, take a swim, or read a good book.
Otter Brook Preserve runs alongside one of the largest freshwater streams in Harpswell. This freshwater marsh, stream and pond system is a scarce resource in our coastal community. Ttrails meander through the forest and provide approximately 1.7 miles of pleasant walking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Visitors here enjoy quiet woods trails and glimpses of the brook and wildlife that rely on it, including Great Blue Herons, ducks, and dragonflies.
