The Mount Agamenticus Conservation Region consists of more than 10,000 acres and is located within an additional 30,000 acre expanse of conservation land in southern Maine. This land is comprised of a rich and unique coastal forest that supports the highest diversity of animal and plant species in all of Maine.
The mountain and the surrounding area provide residents with an ideal location for hiking, biking and sightseeing. While most of Southern Maine is heavily developed, this stretch of conservation land is a natural treasure that will be preserved for the enjoyment of generations to come. |

Rules and Regulations
Because of its splendor, and its proximity to population centers, the area is heavily used for recreation, especially popular with hikers, mountain bikers, equestrians and ATV riders. However, heavy recreational use has damaged trails and the natural resources of the area. The Mount Agamenticus Steering Committee has begun to improve the trails to improve recreational experiences and to protect natural resources and manage more than 10,000 acres. By improving, marking and managing trails, the safety and recreational enjoyment of the area will be enhanced and the impacts to wildlife and wetlands will be significantly reduced.
