Loon Echo
Land Trust is a non-profit dedicated to protecting land in the northern Sebago
lake region.
In 2017 it celebrates its 30th anniversary with 6700
acres preserved. Currently there are 13 parks preserved for multi-use
recreational opportunities.
It was my
good fortune to hike Raymond Community Forest, an amazing community
vision, consisting of 356 acres including much of Pismire Mountain and a large
forested area beside Crescent Lake.
There are 3+
miles of multi-use loop trails offering scenic views overlooking Crescent Lake
and a moderate hike up the mountain. What is your pleasure – wildflowers,
wildlife, views, photography, or just out for a walk. I enjoyed viewing a mushroom community growing on a stump.
A great
choice in all seasons.
Trail head
parking is located on Conesca Rd.
