The McDonald Preserve, part of the Spirit Pond preserve in Phippsburg, Maine, is managed by the Phippsburg Land Trust. Located on the eastern shore of Spirit Pond, this small, 10-acre sanctuary is accessible via the McDonald Sanctuary Trail, which crosses the Spruceville bridge. The trail forms a short loop through old-growth hardwoods and along the pond's shoreline. The loop is orange blazed, with a white-blazed connector from the southern parking area. The preserve offers excellent birding opportunities, with a variety of water, wading, and woodland birds. You can connect this loop to the longer Spirit Pond Loop, which is blue blazed.
