Chessey Preserve – Sebago, 109 acres
 

The out-and-back trail on Chessey provides access to beautiful and remote Browns Pond through densely wooded mixed forest. This trail is often wet, especially in the late fall and early spring. We recommend wearing waterproof boots when hiking in these seasons

This Preserve is in the homeland of the Wabanaki People. We respectfully acknowledge these People of the Dawn–past, present and future–and their connection to these lands and waters.

Please see below for the trail map and more information about the preserve and trails.

About the chessey Preserve

The property is wild and relatively pristine woodland area. The trail is easily accessible from Hancock Pond Road and is a short half-mile to the undeveloped shore of Browns Pond. Parts are rocky and—depending on the time of year—muddy. The forest is a mix of hemlocks, pine and birch, and as the trail opens up on the shore, clear views of all sections of the pond including the marshy north end. Please note: snowmobiles and motorized vehicles are NOT allowed on this property.

Chessey Preserve is protected under a conservation easement held by the Presumpscot Regional Land Trust.
