PLEASANT RIVER
COMMUNITY FOREST
PRESERVE
With 391 acres and 8600 feet of frontage on the Pleasant River, this is a preserve for all seasons. The loop trails at Pleasant River Preserve offer hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing adventures. The campsite near the river is a great spot to hike into for a picnic and swim, or for a weekend adventure.
​
We welcome the public to the DSF Land Trust properties and ask that you review the Hunting & Wildlife Viewing Equipment Policy in advance of your visit. All properties are 'carry-in, carry-out'. You must have a permit to have a campfire on the properties.
State law requires fire permits for all open fires (including in campsite fire rings). Campfires may be banned during dry periods. Contact the Maine Forest Service for a permit at (207) 827-1800.
