"Quiet forested area in Brunswick off the Harpswell Road. Many well marked and some side trails. Main section is 70+ acres, additional section to the SE. Parking area is free with metal square picnic tables and benches near parking. No portable toilets. Great snowshoeing in winter. There is a Jack Pine grove."
