Butler Preserve


A little gem of a walk just off Rte. 35. The trail leads to a large boulder known as Picnic Rock with views of the Kennebunk River. In earlier times, Picnic Rock was a well-known spot where boaters traveling the river would stop and picnic. Now the preserve is enjoyed by people of all ages as a stop on a kayak excursion or to hike.

Directions: Access is from Old Port Road near the corner of Rivers Edge Drive; parking is limited.
