Presumpscot Regional Land Trust officially opened its newest trail, Mill Brook Preserve South, located on East Bridge Street in Westbrook, just a short distance from Gorham. This family-friendly, 1.5 mile loop trail is free and open to the public for walking, skiing or snow shoeing. While the location is urban, the scenery is anything but. The trail meanders through 32 acres of beautiful forests and wetlands and offers a great view of Mill Brook, a prime stream for the largest annual Spring alewife run, as well as other abundant wildlife.

Parking is at Millbrook Estates housing on East Bridge Street. Go to Land, Water, and Trails page at www.prlt.org to find a map of the new Mill Brook Preserve South as well as all the other unique Land Trust preserves that offer great hiking opportunities. Presumpscot Regional Land Trust (PRLT) engages with communities to conserve, steward, and provide access to local lands and clean water for current and future generations to enjoy.

While there is no hunting on Land Trust preserves, remember that November is hunting season, so wearing blaze orange or other bright colors is a good idea. Please carry in carry out so you leave no trace.
