Baldwin Hill Conservation Area

Location and Description:

Location: Fayette, Maine

Property Description: A quarter-mile, universally accessible trail weaves through the tall white pines of the burial ground, offering a chance for reflection and a lovely view. The fall foliage is stunning in late September and October. Parking is at the bottom of the gated access road, where a 0.3-mile hike up the scenic gravel road will take visitors to the trail, the burial ground, and the viewpoint. Visitors with family at the burial ground or with mobility impairments can call KLT to gain access through the gate.

Directions: From Route 17 in Fayette, turn west onto Fayette Corner Road. In one mile, turn right onto a gravel road with a small pull-off parking lot and a gate marked by a KLT sign. Hikers start here – an easy 0.3-mile hike brings you to the cemetery. For those unable to walk the 0.3 miles, contact KLT for information about our ADA-compliant parking space and turnaround at the cemetery.

Usage

Allowable Uses: Hiking, nature observation, snowshoeing. No motorized vehicles. Apart from service dogs as stated in Maine law, dogs are not allowed on cemetery grounds or in the surrounding Baldwin Hill Conservation Area.

Parking: There is a small pull-off parking lot by the gate as you come onto the gravel road, marked by a KLT sign.

History:

KLT purchased the 90 acre property, including what is now the burial ground from the Sturtevant family in 2019, intending to locate a conservation burial ground on the property. Ten acres was deeded to the BHCBG Corporation, while the remaining eighty acres are permanently protected by KLT.
