Fernald's Neck is a 328 acre parcel of land that is virtually surrounded by Lake Megunticook. Trails totaling 3.25 miles, but hiking them all there is a lot of back tracking so your hike could be much longer. In total we hiked over 3 miles skipping the red trail and the white trail. The red is a short cut that bisects the blue trail and the white trail had warnings of a heavy deer tick population along it.

We couldn't find the Mountain View area but did I did snag a cool picture of the lake along the way to the orange trail.
The orange trail is the ruggedest trail where the path isn't very clear and it has a travels up and down hill and can be quite tricky at times. The blue trail present a unique tree that was growing in the shape of a U, but is clearly dead and it's just a matter of time before it succumbs to nature.
Hiking the blue trail we came across an overlook that provided us a much need break from hiking and infestation of mosquito's. We had sprayed down with bug spray but I believe the sweat was starting to wash it away.
We left the preserve and headed to Lincolnville Beach because Kate had never been. She was surprised that the Beach was so close to Route 1. I can't say I blame her, most public beaches you have to park and hike a good ways to get to it. Here you literally park and walk onto the sand.
We waded into the water, which was chilly at first but we quickly acclimated to the temperature. I skipped a few rocks as there was an overabundance of smooth flat rocks on the shoreline and what else do you do with them?
I had never heard this song before and learned it today!

UPDATE: At the suggestion of Kate I have changed to music video to her favorite performer.
