Coastal Mountains volunteer and Waldo County resident Bindy Pendleton will lead this hike which will take place at the Agnew Tract in the town of Knox on May 14 at 9:30 a.m.
Some of the tract’s special features include a pond with beavers and a diversity of bird species as well as several varieties of frogs and other amphibians.
The trail is fairly short, under a mile, and takes hikers up a rise over the pond, then travels alongside the water. Bring your binoculars if you have them as well as tick and insect repellent.
*Pre-registration and ride sharing is recommended as the pond is located on a dead-end dirt road with limited parking spaces. We will meet at the Marsh Preserve parking lot off route 137 by 9:30am to caravan to the pond.
Directions to the Marsh Meadow preserve (you will caravan from this parking area to the Agnew Tract trail head): From Belfast, take Main Street west and turn right onto Waldo Avenue / Route 137. Continue 10.4 miles (passing the 131 intersection) to the trailhead on the right. Park only in the designated lot and not along the driveway.
If you want to join the ride share from Belfast, be at Reny’s parking lot (in Belfast) by 9:00 a.m. Call Bindy, at 207-323-0817 for ride-sharing information. For more information and to register email info@coastalmountains.org .
