Hatch Cove
This property’s fields are a landmark for all who approach Castine. The preserve encompasses a significant portion of the fields on either side of Rt. 166 just north of the British Canal. There is a walking path through the woods and field. This location is spectacular for many nice views, picnic spots, birding, and wildflowers! A British Revolutionary War redoubt is located on the property.
