"Timber Point Preservation is a hidden gem, one of the quietest, most serene spots I’ve visited in Maine. The peacefulness of the area makes it perfect for a calming walk, reflection, or simply soaking in the natural beauty.

The views are stunning, especially near the coastline where you can see the water stretch out between the trees. Whether you’re watching the tides shift, spotting birds, or enjoying the sun filtering through the woods, there’s a constant sense of calm and space.

If you’re looking for a quiet escape with beautiful scenery and minimal crowds, this place is a must. Highly recommend for nature lovers and anyone needing a breather from the busier tourist spots."

"We visited on a Saturday morning in mid-June 2025.

Parking here is rough as there are like 5 marked spots and there looked to be a couple more just down the back side of the embankment but I'm not sure if those were official spots. There were cars parked there when we visited. The lot was actually pretty full when we arrived around 11AM. We grab one of the last 2 spots.

There is a welcome kiosk with information on it. Highlights include No Dogs, No Bikes, No camping or overnight parking. Despite all the signage, we did see one solo visitor walking their dog on the trail. Not sure if he was a local as he looked pretty comfortable just strolling down the trail. There is also a bike rack at the trail head so if you arrived by bike, you could lock it up here to continue the trail. There were multiple groups we encountered with large numbers. Honestly we were surprised by the trails popularity.

While the parking lot is on asphalt the trail itself starts off as crushed gravel and compacted dirt. It's a bit of a walk before you hit the tree line. The trail at the beginning is also a road for the residents who live closer in. There is also a great view over the little inlet/bay area. The trail will soon peel off to the right off the road. The rocks become bigger and there is a gate that was opened and additional signage saying no bikes and no dogs.

The firs thing we encountered was a small platform used to love all the water with signage. You could see across at the homes and there were people playing in the water on the other bank. The trail will turn into more compact dirt as you go in and will split into multiple smaller trails. There are kiosks with signs along the way. We did encountered some mosquitos in this thicker part of the trail. you do come out to a point with a great over view.

You eventually run into the Ewing House which was really cool. The view from there is also great. The grass here was very tall though so we had to be careful where we walked to avoid possible ticks. There is a tiny foot path around the house. There was also a picnic table here but there was absolutely no shade and the grass was as tall as the table in some places. We didn't have much time so we couldn't climb out onto the rocks but it looked pretty cool. We took some photos and circled around to head back to the parking lot. There were signs pointing the way back to the parking lot.

Overall it was a cool hike and we're glad we did it. If we had more time we couldn't maybe played in the water a bit and explored some more of the smaller trails around the area but we had a tight schedule and needed to get back on the road."

"Off the beaten path- short trail along the shore through to the point. We'll worn and no overgrown. No bikes or pets allowed and limited parking...Definitely worth a visit but bring big spray to ward off mosquitoes!"
