134 acres and Loop Trail at Caterpillar Hill in Sedgwick

The 134-acre Cooper Farm property lies on the sloping fields of Caterpillar Hill. In 2001 the Blue Hill Heritage Trust—with the support of the former landowners, partner organizations Island Heritage Trust and Maine Coast Heritage Trust, and many community members—purchased this important scenic and cultural landmark.

The view from Rt. 15 in Sedgwick is prized by both residents and visitors. A scenic turnout maintained by the Department of Transportation provides a safe place for visitors to pull over and enjoy. The view overlooks the open fields and forest owned by the Trust and, in the distance, Eggemoggin Reach, the islands of Penobscot Bay and the Camden Hills.

Long loved for its scenic qualities, this property now welcomes visitors to walk or ski a loop trail and experience the beautiful landscape firsthand. The property provides excellent opportunities for blueberry picking during July and August.

Location and Parking: A small parking lot is located on the unpaved Cooper Farm Road, just south of the Caterpillar Hill scenic turnout on Route 15. Walk down the Cooper Farm Road to find the trail kiosk.
