Hiking Mount Agamenticus Conservation Region (Maine)

Located in southern Maine, just inland of the coastal communities of York and Ogunquit, is the Mount Agamenticus Conservation Region. This region is dominated by Mount Agamenticus. This 30,000 acre area is set aside for watershed, forestry, and wildlife protection. In addition, it serves many recreational purposes. This is an excellent place to go on a day hike.
"This land is comprised of a rich and unique coastal forest that supports the highest diversity of animal and plant species in all of Maine. The mountain and the surrounding area provide residents with an ideal location for hiking, biking and sightseeing. While most of Southern Maine is heavily developed, this stretch of conservation land is a natural treasure that will be preserved for the enjoyment of generations to come".
