Raymond Community Forest (RCF) is a 356 acre permanently conserved preserve in Raymond, ME. With 4 miles of multi-use trails, RCF offers exceptional views of and from Pismire Mountain. Uses in the lower forest include walking, hiking, cross country skiing/snowshoeing and mountain biking. The forest also offers uses such as hunting and trapping (by permission only).
Raymond Community Forest offers a wide range of hiking experiences. Take to the loop trails in the lower forest for a walk through young forests, or head up the Pismire Bluff trail for great views from Pismire Mountain. The loop trail at the top of Pismire offers a beautiful walking experience through a hardwood forest.
This 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.

- There are no benches or restrooms on the property.
Access to this land and trails is free. If you would like to support the stewardship of Raymond Community Forest consider a
