Butler Preserve Details

With easy and flat trails, the 14 acres of pristine forests along the Kennebunk River are the perfect spot to get in a nice walk through the woods. Mostly trees and river wetland frontage, there is a large glacial boulder deposit here that was once popular for river runners to stop at and use as a picnicking spot. Now that the area is open and preserved for everyone, the spot is known to all as "Picnic Rock."
