More information
Long Hill Road Preserve has no trails. Parking is available on the narrow shoulders of Long Hill Road and Haskell Road. (Exercise caution near both roads due to high posted speed limits.)
The Long Hill Road Preserve was established in 2007 as a requirement of establishing the adjacent subdivision.
Permitted: Camping (with advance permission), fishing, foraging, hiking, hunting (largely limited due to proximity of residences), backcountry skiing, and snowshoeing. Dogs (on leash or under voice control – leash only near residences and paved roads), leaving no evidence of their visit.
Not permitted: Fires, parking on area private roads (including Perennial Drive), and smoking.
Required: Wearing of orange during all hunting seasons and adherence to postings on private abutting land.
Royal River Conservation Trust protects and stewards properties, including Long Hill Road Preserve, located within the traditional homelands of the Wabanaki. We strive to ensure that our properties are inclusive and accessible and provide opportunities for healing, education, and respite.
Habitat
Located near the height of land that separates the Presumpscot watershed from the Royal watershed, the small stream on this parcel drains to Cumberland and eventually to the Presumpscot River. Wetlands near the stream provide habitat for amphibians.
