The 21-acre Starr and Virginia Lampson Preserve on the border between Castine and Penobscot is owned by the Maine Coast Heritage Trust. It features a half-mile loop trail that travels through meadows and forestland to visit the shore of the Bagaduce River. The trail began as a mowed path through a meadow that sloped down to the water. Daisies, buttercups and pink-purple flowerheads of clover dotted the vibrant green landscape. Pale yellow cabbage butterflies flitted about. The preserve features about 1,500 feet of the river shoreline. The nearby Tills Point Preserve in Penobscot is another MCHT property with a half-mile trail.
