Timber Point

The 97-acre peninsula includes coastal wetlands, rocky shores, dense forests, and a 13-acre island where the Little River meets the Atlantic Ocean.

The land transformed from Native American settlement to colonial territory, later becoming a summer retreat for the Jordan family in the early 1900s.

The Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge manages this natural area, emphasizing the protection of coastal ecosystems and migratory bird populations.

A 1.4-mile loop trail guides visitors through multiple habitats, with access to Timber Island possible only during low tide periods.

The site maintains remnants of a grand mansion while providing protected habitat for piping plovers and least terns along the Maine coast.
