Howard Hill

Located in the heart of Augusta, the 164-acre Howard Hill conservation area forms the wooded backdrop to the Maine State House and features a cascading stream, an expansive ridgeline with rocky cliffs, and diverse wildlife habitat. The property, which is crisscrossed by a network of trails, is open to hiking, nature observation, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and bow hunting by permission. The Land for Maine’s Future Board supported the acquisition of Howard Hill in 2017.
