Located in Lubec, the 1,225-acre Hamilton Cove Preserve was acquired by the Maine Coast Heritage Trust in four parcels between 1993 and 2008. Right on the water, the property features a dramatic coastline with sheer ocean cliffs, rocky outcroppings and cobblestone beaches — plus 25 different types of plant communities, including a forest filled with old trees on Benny’s Mountain. Benny’s Mountain rises just 218 feet above sea level, yet from an overlook at its summit you can see over the trees to the ocean and the cliffs of Grand Manan Island. You can also make out the buildings of downtown Lubec in the distance.
