WISCASSET — Sheepscot Valley Conservation Association (SVCA) and the Sheepscot Wellspring Land Alliance (SWLA) are co-hosting a day hike up Hogback Mountain in Montville on the edge of the Sheepscot Watershed on Aug. 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
There is a limit of 25 participants, and registration is required by Aug. 15. Those interested should contact the SVCA at svca@sheepscot.org or 586-5616 to register.
This rewarding hike culminates on the summit (1,115 feet), with views often all the way to Penobscot Bay.
The five-mile round-trip hike can be moderately strenuous. Participants need to wear appropriate hiking footwear, and bring water and a snack or lunch.
The trails are part of a 28- mile network jointly managed by SWLA and the Georges River Land Trust. The hike will be led by Buck O’Herin from SWLA.
The Sheepscot Valley Conservation Association is a member organization advocating shared stewardship of Maine’s 58-mile Sheepscot River since 1969.
