Frank Woodworth was a local fisherman who lived in this area as well as on Narrows Island, which lies just southeast of Willard Point. Woodworth was a longtime friend of the Joseph Parsons and George Milmine families, owners and stewards of the property for nearly 100 years. In the 1980s, the Milmines protected much of the point with conservation easements, and in 2007, the Maine Coast Heritage Trust purchased the land. A 2.5-mile lollipop loop leads hikers through the mossy-green woods, which are dominated by a mature growth of red spruce, white birch, balsam fir and northern white cedar. ~ Carey Kish
