Town of Dartmouth Conservation Area 61 Highland Avenue, Dartmouth, MA 02747

"Nice trail, the chain is to stop teenagers in cars from trying to go down it. With an IQ above 60 you should be able to walk around the pole no problem, I guess it does a good job of weeding out some people though"

"Beautiful scenic trail. Always wanted to try glad I finally did ! Beware lots of overgrown poison ivy !!!!! Thank you Caitlyn Carey for you helpful review, much appreciated!!!"

"The entrance is blocked with a chain. This trail site should be removed. I drove over 30 minutes to get here. What a disappointment and waste of time."

"The Dartmouth Conservation property (170 acres) has a single public access point. A narrow path between #53 and #61 Highland Avenue. Two iron posts mark the trailhead, and there is a green sign there with rules and regulations. There is parking for 2-3 cars on the side of the road here during daylight hours only.The path is flanked by a high stonewall on the right and crosses a causeway, with Little Pond on your left and Lake Noquochoke on the right. Seasonal flooding does inhibit walking at times. There are large fields, many small ponds, several of them glacial sink holes, good rocks for climbing, and pine woods toward the northeast. The land also has natural wild cranberry bogs and vernal pools. Along the peninsula, there are many great white cedar trees that overlook the water. This reserve makes for excellent birding, pleasant walking, fishing, and a challenge to identify the many plant species. Different trails to explore with water views throughout. Love this place"
