In Corea
Northern Corea Heath is a 600-acre property that links the National Wildlife Refuge to the south and Grand Marsh to the north. The wetlands and associated uplands here provide habitat for inland and coastal waterfowl and wading birds, migrating land birds, rare plants and unusual plant communities.
Roaring Brook flows through and widens into extensive wetlands in several places. Beavers have created a pond just north of the road. Rising from the edge of the wetland complex is a mixed forest of hardwoods, spruce, fir and pine, including a beautiful stand of the fire-dependent jack pine. Surrounded by intense development, it remains a quiet haven for wildlife and the people who walk there. Directions.
DIRECTIONS: On Coastal Route 1 in Gouldsboro, take Route 195 to Prospect Harbor/Corea. At T-intersection (by Dorcas Library), stay on Route 195 by turning left and going .1 and turning Right (at flagpole) to Corea.
Bear left at the curve (do not go straight onto Lighthouse Point Road towards the Naval Security Detachment/Lighthouse) and follow Route 195.
Pass beach (on right) and Oceanside Meadows B&B (on left). About .2 mile, just past telephone pole with Osprey nest, will be turn-off to old Navy base. Trail head is directly across from turn-off.
Don’t you love rural directions like these?
Park at turn-off or go further to parking area by fenced buildings on U.S. Fish & Wildlife property (.3 mile), or at Chapter Two (.4 mile), and walk back to trailhead.
