Beech Hill Preserve, Nature reserve and historic site in Rockport, United States.

The 295-acre preserve features two main trails leading to an open summit at 533 feet elevation with views of Penobscot Bay and Camden Hills.

Established in 1986 through a conservation easement, the land was purchased by Coastal Mountains Land Trust in 2003 with support from Maine's Future program.

The stone structure Beech Nut, constructed in 1914 with Norwegian sod-roofing techniques, stands at the summit as a testament to early 20th-century architecture.

Visitors can access the preserve through two parking areas: one on Beech Hill Road for the Summit Trail and another on Rockville Street for the Woods Loop.

The preserve maintains a commercial organic blueberry operation while providing habitat for 141 documented bird species, including eastern towhees and savannah sparrows.
