In our ongoing commitment to improving outdoor access across the Lake Region, we’re excited to announce a new trail project at Mayberry Hill Preserve in Casco. Donated by the Gillis family in 1992, Mayberry Hill is LELT’s oldest preserve. With the addition of a new off-street parking area and trail improvements at the end of 2022, the preserve has seen more visitors. In response, and as part of LELT’s strategic goal to enhance outdoor access in every Lake Region community, we’ll be building a new all-persons trail at Mayberry Hill Preserve in spring 2025.

The new trail will be similar to the all-persons trails at Pondicherry Park and Peabody-Fitch Woods: six feet wide, with a gravel surface, gentle slopes and stretching just over a half-mile. Thanks to funding from Maine’s Recreational Trail Program and Athletic Brewing Company, we have already raised $60,000 of our $90,000 goal.

This winter, we’ll announce an opportunity to help support the trail project through a limited time trail-side memorial bench program. If you have a loved one in mind who you would like to honor with a custom built trail-side bench, stay tuned for more details in early 2025. In the meantime, donations can be made at any time to support the trail project.
