Wilbur Preserve is located at the end of a dead-end lane (it feels like you&#8217;re twisting and turning forever). Eventually, you&#8217;ll reach an open spit of land, beautiful in its own right, where someone has placed several chairs to enjoy the view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a short, steep hike up, you&#8217;ll find yourself at an open ledge. It&#8217;s a special spot. There are two trails, one takes you to the overlook and one does a small loop in the woods and apple orchard below the ledges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Directions<\/strong>: From Rte. 209 at Winnegance proceed 4 miles to the Bisson\u2019s Center Store and turn left onto Parker Head Rd. Follow Parker Head Road 4 miles to Cox\u2019s Head Rd on the left. Proceed .6 miles out on Cox\u2019s Head Rd.; you will see a sign pointing to Wilbur Preserve and the road becomes the Green Point Road. Proceed .25 miles to the parking area on the left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:66.79958%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"47707\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wilbur-preserve-phippsburg\/hikeupwilbur800\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/hikeupwilbur800.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/hikeupwilbur800.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.20042%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"47706\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wilbur-preserve-phippsburg\/wilburchair800\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wilburchair800.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wilburchair800.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"47705\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wilbur-preserve-phippsburg\/wilburview800\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wilburview800.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wilburview800.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33333%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"67637\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wilbur-preserve-phippsburg\/wilbur-head-view\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wilbur-head-view.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wilbur-head-view.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33333%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"67638\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wilbur-preserve-phippsburg\/wilbur-head-rock-phoebedog\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wilbur-head-rock-phoebedog.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wilbur-head-rock-phoebedog.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33333%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"67639\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wilbur-preserve-phippsburg\/wilbur-head-land\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wilbur-head-land.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wilbur-head-land.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"533\" data-id=\"67462\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wilbur-preserve-phippsburg\/wilbur-cx-head-view\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wilbur-cx-head-view.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wilbur-cx-head-view.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"533\" data-id=\"67465\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wilbur-preserve-phippsburg\/wilbur-head-lola-snow\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wilbur-head-lola-snow.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wilbur-head-lola-snow.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was amazed to find myself sitting on a high, open ledge here at Phippsburg Land Trust&#8217;s Wilbur Preserve, looking out over Atkins Bay, Fort Popham, a little oceanside community, and the sea beyond.
