Caughey-Taylor Nature Preserve (Sam Orr Pond)

Located close to the famous resort town of St. Andrews by-the-Sea, the Caughey-Taylor Nature Preserve protects approximately 243 ha (600 acres) of biologically rich and diverse coastal habitat. Explore the trails around the brackish Sam Orr Pond, hike Chickahominy Mountain to the Rhyolite outcrop (a dramatic scenic look-off), travel through the enchanted forest to experience the peaceful serenity of an Acadian coastal forest, take the scenic trail to Passamaquoddy Bay, and watch the tide roll into one of many saltwater marshes.
