Head of Tide Preserve
A Part of the Passagassawakeag Greenway Project
Support the Passagassawakeag Greenway campaign.
Location: Belfast
Protected: 2009
Acreage: 91.7 acres
Description: In late December 2009, the Land Trust purchased this beautiful farm along the Passagassawakeag River in Belfast, thanks to the cooperation of former owners Jason and Martha Campbell. Ninety-two acres of this picturesque property have now become the "Head of Tide Preserve," so named because it marks the uppermost reach of the river's tidal waters. During 2010 the Land Trust will complete an ecological inventory and management plan that will guide the citing of a trail on the new preserve. The future trail--which will take advantage of the preserve's spectacular river frontage and scenic woods and fields--will increase by more than 50% the Land Trust's Passagassawakeag Greenway trail system. Although there are currently no maintained trails, the preserve is open for exploration. Parking is available off Doak Road at the adjoining Stover Preserve , but is not allowed at the former Campbell house.
