Woodward Cove
This 18-acre fee property was purchased from the Unitarian Universalist Church in 2016 for conservation and public use. The property provides key access for wormers and clammers to some of Brunswick’s most productive mud flats. The property protects about 1,500 feet of undeveloped forested shoreline adjacent to an intact saltmarsh, both critical to ecological, habitat, and scenic values of upper Woodward Cove.
A parking area is located off of Gurnet Road/Route 24 where a water access trail for clammers, wormers, and hand carry boat users leads to Woodward Cove. A winding, lollipop shaped loop trail just under a half mile long is also accessible from the parking area featuring gentle hills, views of the marsh, and numerous apple trees.
