VISIT

The Sanctuary property is accessible through a series of low impact trails designed to highlight a variety of habitats surrounding Somes Pond.  Public trails are open from dawn to dusk seven days a week.  Trail access is available at three locations: 1) Pretty Marsh Road Headquarters parking area, 2) the Somesville Firehouse, and 3) alongside the Oak Hill Road just west of the public access landing. Dogs are prohibited from all Sanctuary trails for the sake of wildlife.

The Sanctuary’s Headquarters building overlooking Somes Pond serves as the base of operations and visitor services which include exhibits and information related to the Sanctuary’s projects.  Please visit the Headquarters building at 57 Pretty Marsh Road for more detailed visitor information. We are often away from HQ working on various projects so if no one is present feel free to call Director Billy Helprin to arrange a visit or learn more (207) 460-9390.
