To access the 55-acre Midcoast Conservancy preserve, you have to park your car on Reef Road and walk down a dirt road that is not plowed in the winter. 

The Reef Point preserve is situated on the eastern bank of the Medomak River, and includes 984 feet of river frontage. The preserve is primarily forested, consisting of mixed second growth with common species including red oak, balsam fir, white pine, red spruce, eastern hemlock, red maple, birch, beech, big-tooth aspen, quaking aspen and white ash. A dense understory of herbs and ferns occurs throughout the preserve, which is a great place for viewing spring wildflowers such as Canada mayflower, starflower, bunchberry, and lady slippers. Several small wetlands and an open field add diversity to the landscape.

The preserve is located at the end of the tarred Reef Road. A school bus turnaround located on the left at the end of the road may be used for parking when school is not in session, otherwise park to one side of the road just beyond this point. Reef Point Preserve is located 0.6 miles from the end of Reef Road, and must be accessed by foot via the dirt road.

Midcoast Conservancy currently maintains one walking trail at Reef Point. The 1.4 mile trail is marked with bright blue blazes and wooden arrows at trail junctions. Parts of the trail can be very muddy in the spring or after a rainstorm, and hikers should also keep an eye out for poison ivy near the river.
