Located in Bridgton, the Clara and Samuel Lebovitz Forest Preserve is 192 acres of mixed woodlands, wetlands, and streams. The property is approximately 40% wetlands with a half-mile of shoreline on Otter Pond, and one mile total of stream channels. Located entirely within the Sebago Lake Watershed, the property plays an important role in safeguarding the water quality of Sebago Lake, which is the source of drinking water for over 200,000 Mainers and many Cumberland County businesses.

This location is rich in habitat for waterfowl, wading birds, and deer. The land is also associated with a population of the endangered Blanding’s turtle and at least two other threatened species listed by the Maine DIFW: the New England Bluet damselfly and the Common Sand dragon dragonfly.

There is no formal trail network on the property. But if you're up for it, old logging roads will take you into the woods. Hunting is allowed on the property. Please wear blaze orange in season.

Lebovitz Forest was conserved in 2024. The land is within the traditional and unceded territory of the Abenaki, a member tribe of the Wabanaki Confederacy. The Abenaki First Nations of Odanak and Wôlinak maintain reservations along the St. Francis and St. Lawrence Rivers in the Canadian province of Quebec, where they sought refuge following colonial warfare in the Saco, Presumpscot, and Androscoggin River watersheds during the 17th and 18th centuries.
