The sanctuary has two trail systems that don&#8217;t connect, with two separate parking lots, and offers more than four miles of walking. The trail system off of Town Farm Road has the greater mileage and the views, while the short trails off of Carver Road have access to Mud Pond and Jock Stream. The paths are well marked. Dog owners take note \u2014 no dogs allowed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be ready to do a bit of climbing. From the Town Farm Road trailhead, you can take the Blue Trail clockwise to reach lookouts one, two, and three in succession. The first is just about 0.35 miles from the trailhead, which, along with Lookout two, offers views of Woodbury Pond over a power line corridor, while the third faces west over Mud Pond and some distant mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The White Trail on this side does a big loop which brings you down close to Mud Pond. While you can see the water through the trees, the trail doesn&#8217;t bring you to its shores. Go to the Carter Road trailhead if you want access to Mud Pond. The trails on the Carter Road side are like old woods roads \u2014 wide and easy and they&#8217;re blocked by a gate. The pond is the main attraction on this side, which is located 0.4 miles from the trailhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another quick note: there is a short loop off the Town Farm Road trailhead called the Yellow Trail. The stream crossing on the outer loop can be tricky. To avoid it, take the bypass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Directions: <\/strong>To get to the bigger of the two trail systems, the eastern network, from Lewiston, take Route 9 north to Monmouth and turn left on Town Farm Road and drive about a mile to the trailhead on the left. To access the western trail system from Lewiston (the Mud Pond portion), take Route 9 north to Monmouth and turn left on Carver Road (a dirt road) which immediately crosses the power line corridor. Trailhead will be on the right.<\/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:66.19590%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"48369\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/woodbury-nature-sanctuary-monmouth\/woodbury800b-2\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/woodbury800b.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/woodbury800b.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.80410%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"569\" data-id=\"48366\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/woodbury-nature-sanctuary-monmouth\/woodbury800a\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/woodbury800a.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/woodbury800a.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"48368\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/woodbury-nature-sanctuary-monmouth\/woodbury800c\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/woodbury800c.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/woodbury800c.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.88263%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"48367\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/woodbury-nature-sanctuary-monmouth\/woodbury800e\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/woodbury800e.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/woodbury800e.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"67535\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/woodbury-nature-sanctuary-monmouth\/woodbury-view-bench\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/woodbury-view-bench.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/woodbury-view-bench.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:66.11737%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"618\" data-id=\"48365\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/woodbury-nature-sanctuary-monmouth\/woodburymap\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/woodburymap.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/woodburymap.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This sanctuary, protected by the Stanton Bird Club, contains 401 acres, two short summits, one lovely pond inaptly called Mud Pond and views from three elevated lookouts along the trail!
