Encompassing almost 1,600 acres in Maine’s Hundred Mile Wilderness region, Borestone Mountain Audubon Sanctuary offers a spectacular array of natural features, including rare older forest, three crystalline ponds, exposed granite crags, and sweeping, panoramic views. Hiking trails lead to the summit and other viewpoints, and a seasonal Visitor Center includes displays and a small Nature Store. The entrance gate is just off Bodfish Valley Road, Elliotsville, and the Visitor Center is a 1.3-mile walk up the access road.
