The Basin Preserve is a great place to explore the Maine Coastline, especially in autumn. Basin Road is packed dirt, so depending on your bike you may have trouble beyond this point. If you make it to the south side of the preserve you are treated to views of Malaga Island and back across the bay toward Portland.
