Boot Head Preserve.

Distance: 2.5 Miles Loop

Difficulty: Easy

We met at Boot Head Preserve on Boot Cove Road in Lubec Maine. There is a small parking lot for about six cars. We hiked a two and half mile loop that was pretty easy to follow. You can check out the map as there are a couple side trails.

The trail is fairly flat with some small inclines. You walk through a beautiful forest of moss and some foot bridges.

One of the side trails is down to a rock beach. The first lookout over the Atlantic Ocean was beautiful. There is something about Maines rocky coast line that is breathtaking.

A little further down the trail was another lookout with a bench.

I was mesmerized by the turquoise water in several of the coves.

On the loop back there was another side trail to a bog. Most of this trail was foot bridges.

That led you out to a pretty little bog.

Overall, I loved this hike, it was easy and great for children and beginner hikers. I loved the views of the undeveloped coast line. Most off all I loved reconnecting with an old friend even though it had been 20 years since last seeing each other, it seemed like not much had changed expect we were both married and had kids.
