Thorne Head Preserve is conveniently located at the confluence of the Kennebec Estuary and Whiskeag Creek, at the northern end of the City of Bath. From the parking lot, a series of trails are available to the visitor, varying in difficulty from the easily accessible fifteen-minute Overlook Trail to the 5.1 mile Whiskeag Trail that connects Thorne Head Preserve to the Bath Area Family YMCA. With water bodies to the east, west, and north, visitors have great views of the estuary and the wildlife that rely on the preserve and the waterways. Other interesting attractions at Thorne Head include the Mushroom Cap Trail and Murderer's Cave. A trip to Thorne Head can mean a thirty-minute walking trip down Overlook Trail and back, or a day full of exploration of the various secrets that the property harbors.

You'd never expect such a cute trail at the end of a street in Bath, but we hit this one all the time. Great view and lunch spot at the top of the hike.

These trails are on the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust's signature property, a 96-acre preserve at the confluence of Whiskeag Creek and the Kennebec River, just below Merrymeeting Bay, with stunning views upriver of Lines Island. Its extensive trail system has access to Whiskeag Trail.
