The preserve consists of approximately 85 acres of wooded land with over a mile of shoreline along the Damariscotta River, with rocky points, quarries, and views of both Seal Cove and Long Cove. 

An access road runs from Route 129 and trails start from either side of the access road and lead to the shoreline. Several loop options are available and a winter weather cut-off called the West Ridge Trail helps avoid steep slopes in slippery conditions. 

Conserved land at Plummer Point protects the entrance to Seal Cove, which is home to a variety of wading and migratory birds, fish, clams, and seals. The mature coastal spruce forest interior is similarly important. The forested tips of peninsulas provide key habitat for songbirds to rest along their migratory routes. Combined with other conserved properties nearby, the total protected land area can also support larger mammals such as fisher and bobcat. Moose have even been sighted in the area.
