Directions:
From the monument in Boothbay Center, travel north on Route 27 for 2.9 miles to River Road. Turn right onto River Road and proceed 3.2 miles. The Colby Preserve is on your right.
In 1994, the Colby Wildlife Preserve was donated to the BRLT by Kitzi Colby’s daughters, Joanna Cameron and Anni Black. The preserve is a 12-acre parcel on Salt
Marsh Cove on the Damariscotta River.
Rich in history, this cove was once the site of saltworks, iceworks, a brickyard, ferry landing, sawmills and gristmills. Now in its natural state, the Salt Marsh Cove is of environmental importance to the health of the Damariscotta River. From the River Road,
follow the old road 0.3 miles to Salt Marsh Cove. The loop trail is 0.6 miles.
