Elisha Brook Preserve

Description and Access

The 336-acre Elisha Brook Preserve is on the eastern side of the West Branch of the Narraguagus River in Cherryfield, Maine. The preserve has around 2.25 miles of trails, and also has 1.1 miles of frontage along the West Branch of the Narraguagus River.

This is a real nature lover’s paradise with beaver dams and wetlands on this mostly forested preserve, and there are plenty of opportunities to view birds, wildlife, turtles and frogs here.

This preserve can be accessed from Deblois, Maine by turning onto Lane Road at the Deblois town office and fire station. Proceed on Lane Road for 1.2 miles and continue following Lane Road as it turns left and becomes a dirt road leading into the blueberry barrens. Follow Lane Road south for about 6.3 miles through the barrens and continue as it leads you into the forest, past Sharon Lane and onward to Salmon Run Lane. Turn left on Salmon Run Lane and continue east for 1 mile, and then bear right at the intersection and continue south for approximately 1.1 miles until you see a DSF preserve sign on your right. Turn onto the access road and proceed for about 800 feet to the information kiosk and parking area.

There is enough parking for a few vehicles, and we ask that you park your vehicle here and proceed on foot. There are no amenities or facilities available at this property, and visitors should practice the “Pack-it-in, Pack-it-out” policy when visiting this preserve.
