The Hilton-Winn Preserve includes a mosaic of varied landscapes. You’ll find low-lying forested wetlands with vernal pools, riparian areas, dense upland forests, and agricultural fields. The preserve is home to a rich diversity of plant and animal species including cardinal flower, wood lily, flying squirrel, snowshoe hare, river otter, and Northern goshawk.

The Hilton and Winn families’ farmstead dates back more than 200 years. However, prehistoric artifacts found onsite indicate that the land was occupied much earlier than that. Donated by the late Ethel Hilton, these 195 acres are part of Mount Agamenticus to the Sea Conservation Region.

The Hilton-Winn Preserve sits on Abenaki lands. The York Land Trust extends sincere gratitude and respect to these original caretakers of this land, and to all other Wabanaki people who have a relationship with this land.

Follow Berwick Road north three miles from its junction at US-1 in Ogunquit to the preserve entrance and parking lot. Hilton-Winn includes two trails covering 1.5 miles of varied terrain with 0.25 miles of boardwalk through forested wetlands along the Ogunquit River.
