One of our recommended hikes, this 342-acre property in Readfield has a 1 mile loop that passes near a Beaver Pond. This property also has several vernal pools close to the parking area/road. Be aware that the snowmobile trail that crosses the property is currently quite wet and not suitable for hiking.
This property was donated to KLT in 2016 by the Rosmarin family. It had been owned by the Saunders Manufacturing Co., and historically was farmed by several families. Our property brochure (PDF available on the property page) details the history. Thank you to the Readfield Historical Society for providing this information!
A word about the Readfield Historical Society; this wonderful organization is a great resource for learning about Readfield and Central Maine. Their knowledge has helped our organization deepen our understanding of the properties we take care of. They also organize community walks and talks to celebrate and explore history. Check out their facebook page; they share historic photos and stories that compliment an excursion to Readfield!
