Bigelow Preserve, Protected natural area in Franklin County, Maine.
The Bigelow Preserve spans 36,000 acres of land, featuring seven mountain peaks and borders the expansive Flagstaff Lake in northern Maine.
The Maine Legislature established the Bigelow Preserve in 1989 to safeguard the region's natural resources and prevent commercial development of the mountains.
The Appalachian Trail traverses through the preserve, connecting hikers to a broader network of paths that extend from Georgia to Maine.
Visitors can access numerous hiking trails, camping areas, and water activities at Flagstaff Lake, with winter facilities for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.
The preserve includes 10,540 acres designated as an Ecological Reserve, maintaining Maine's biological diversity through minimal human interference.
