Traditionally close to the "Merriconeag" or "the carrying place," the Captain Alfred Skolfield Preserve has had many visitors throughout the years. Sitting on the mudflats next to the Middle Cove Bay, the location made this a prime spot for a shipyard in the 18th and 19th centuries, which is where the preserve got its name. The 11 acres now have an easy mile trail network that most guests use for birdwatching and relaxing strolls. Facilities: Parking
