Beech Hill Preserve
A stone cabin called the Beech Nut sits among summit meadows and blueberry fields, with 360-degree views over Camden Hills and Penobscot Bay, perfect for sunset.
Beech Hill Preserve is managed by the Coastal Mountains Land Trust. The open summit is a wild blueberry field. The Beech Nut stone cabin on top was built in 1915, has a grassy roof and is open on some summer days. From the Beech Hill Road car park, the Summit Trail takes about 30 minutes (about 1.2 km) to reach the top. The gradient is gentle, making it suitable for families. From the summit, you can see both Camden Hills and the bay islands, making it a favourite sunset spot for locals. Entry is free. Please do not pick blueberries during the ripening season.
