Kennebec Land Trust

Parker Pond Headland Preserve, Fayette (F) This 142-acre parcel with 5,000 feet of pristine rocky shoreline on Parker Pond was conserved with the support of conservation minded landowners, KLT members, the Land for Maine’s Future Program (LMF) and the Parker Pond Association. The first 100 acres were purchased in 2004. The 42-acre Hodgkins parcel was donated in 2008. A 1.5 mi trail winds through a hemlock forest and climbs toledges with a bird’s eye view of the Pond. A side trail to “the point” of the peninsula features a view of the region's foothills. There is a boat launch on the Tower Road at the northeast part of Parker Pond.
