The forest at the Richard S. Hodson Preserve and Rheault Trail in Camden is filled with red oaks, bigtooth aspens and sugar maples. But what makes it a truly great foliage spot is the trail that travels through blueberry barrens to the top of Howe Hill. Blueberry plants turn bright red in the fall. And the hilltop offers open views of nearby Bald and Hatchet mountains, as well as Camden Hills State Park. The property is owned and managed by Coastal Mountains Land Trust.
