A hike over Morse Mountain to Seawall Beach in Phippsburg is one of the most unique treks in midcoast Maine. If you extend the outing with a walk on the beach, the journey approximates five miles and travels through multiple ecosystems. Bates College manages the conservation area and maintains a public parking lot. Public access is limited and visitors should familiarize themselves with the rules. Only foot traffic is permitted and pets are prohibited.
