Penny Lake Preserve offers outdoor enthusiasts and pet owners a natural escape in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. With scenic views and a welcoming environment, it’s a great destination for dog owners looking for dog-friendly hiking opportunities and pet-friendly trails near the coast. While the preserve is popular for its picturesque setting, the park’s current information does not confirm designated off-leash areas or dedicated fenced dog spaces.
The quiet, serene location makes it an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful walk with their furry companions or a relaxing break surrounded by Maine’s beautiful woodlands. While close to town, the park retains a rustic charm, perfect for those hoping to experience local trails with their dog in the Boothbay Harbor area.
Nice little area for a short hike. Very easy, 1 main trail down the middle, 2 trails flanking either side, both well marked. If you are in the area and looking for a short hike you might like this. Grab a snack at the grocery store.
Great location and a beautiful trail.
Quick hike through a small preserve. 4 stars because of the nearby traffic noise. There are many quieter hiking trails in Maine.
A wonderful walk for us when we were staying at the Flagship Inn. Some woodland, a lovely creek and pastures with old homestead apple trees. Also lots of wild raspberries on the Northwest part of the trail that leads to the rd.
Love this BRLT (Boothbay Region Land and Trust) trail. It sits right behind the Hannaford supermarket right on route 27. Short and sweet- beautiful trail- marked well with color coded trail markers on the trees. About 1 mile long, but… can be longer by crossing over to other color coded routes. Dog friendly, dry, some tree roots-. I combined my trail walk with my grocery shopping!! 2 for the price of 1!! June Bug (my dog) and I enjoyed ourselves.
