Shepard's Preserve Hike

Shepard's Farm Family Preserve is west of downtown Norway off Crockett Ridge Road. The parking area and trailhead are located 0.5 miles north of ME-117/118 at 121 Crockett Ridge Road. The trailhead and small kiosk are to the right of the parking area.

A parallel parking area and trailhead are located on Pleasant St, approximately 1.5 miles north of Main St.  
Since Norway’s founding in 1797, this high ridge land has supported the working farms of Benjamin Witt, Joshua Crockett, Charles Freeman, and John Shepard. Donated to the Western Foothills Land Trust by the Detert Family in 2010, this twenty acre Preserve is open year round for non-motorized recreation. Enjoy the woods trail or the rolling former dairy farm pasture, perfectly suited for sledding, XC skiing, snowshoeing, dog walking, and kite flying, should the winds comply. Please follow standard trail etiquette of leave no trace. We welcome you to record your visit in the Preserve journal. MORE
