Enjoy the wonders of the preserve. The Whiskeag Trail takes you to wonderful views of the Creek/Estuary.
The preserve is primarily a mixed species forest and includes over 2300 feet of shore frontage on Whiskeag Creek. The Maine Natural Areas Program lists Whiskeag Creek as an exemplary natural community. It is a brackish tidal marsh, a habitat type designated as rare in Maine. The intertidal zone of Whiskeag Creek is home to 10 species of listed rare plants (4 threatened and 6 special concern species) whose presence in Maine is only in these tidal, low salinity mudflats. This is an important feeding area for water birds and shorebirds and is frequented by bald eagles and osprey. Whiskeag Creek flows into the Kennebec River at Thorne Head, another property owned by the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust.
