Porter Preserve

Beautiful nature preserve with hiking paths through scenic woods with multiple scenic water vistas.

Limited parking. No restroom.

Small beach and a few benches throughout the park.

Worth a visit to this quiet local spot.

It was a very nice and scenic short hike. Mostly flat with a few rooted floors. Beautiful seashore views and small beaches. Nice benches for resting and a little quiet time to take it all in 😃

Short, easy hike (about a mile). But beautiful views of the water. And you can hike further by jumping onto other trails.

Best short hike in the area! Small parking area, but a great loop trail with lots of outward spikes to beautiful bay vistas! Most of the trail is deep shaded woods, with blue blazed vista. Fair amount of roots and stairs, but the best views and huge trees!

This trail has thick forest and many rocky water vistas to take in. I walked it with my Mom, who is nearly eighty, the well-maintained trails were super accessible for her. There are MANY benches to take in the views. It smells both deliciously piney and sea salty. A rich diversity of birds inhabit the place. It is wonderful that Booth Bay has chosen to preserve these lands for the public.

This place is beautiful!!! It’s not a difficult walk. I suggest anyone taking this hike it has a beautiful beach with a little bridge and staircase down to the beach it’s quite peaceful and beautiful place to relax and explore!!

Beautiful spot to hike. This short 1.1 mile loop has gorgeous vistas and a small beach. They recently installed a stairway leading down to the beach for easier accessibility. Trail is well marked.

Great, short and easy hike with beautiful vista's to stop at along the way.

Nice little half mile loop with offshoots to admire the scenery

My favorite piece of the Boothbay Region Land Trust going from views of the water to deep woods.

Amazing place, beautiful nature, nice detailed and easy hiking.

Beautiful and scenic views of both Sheepscot River and Back River

Beautiful nature preserve with lots of trails to check out. Trails go through the woods and along the water. Highly recommend checking out this gorgeous free hiking spot.

A beautiful BRLT preserve that takes you along the coast. Hiking out to the Vistas are definitely worth it!

A hidden gem. Beautiful woods and waterside views. A great stroll!

We hiked on many short trails on our vacation in the coastal Maine area. The region is blessed to have so many. This was our favorite. Be sure not to miss any of the Vistas along the way. Lots of photo ops! Even the old graveyard at the beginning of the trail was fascinating.

Great place to disconnect and reset.

This is officially one of my favorite places on the planet now

Short but beautiful hike along the shore. Be sure to follow the little side trails that are marked as Vista and have blue blazes on the trees. The main trail is marked with white blazes. Note that the trail has a lot of tree roots so the ground is uneven.

Great park off the beaten touristy path. The trail is relatively easy and provides a few spots to get down on the rocks and explore more, if you want to. It actually shows quite a bit of diversity in the Maine ecology from evergreen forest to shoreline sea life. Worth the drive from wherever you are in the region. Check out Trivette's Country Store on the way in or out for good food!
