Reviews
"Enjoyable trail, a little confusing markers but easy to recover. Interesting mystery tree section. American Beech & Holly plus Franklinia"
"I love this place! Great place to get my hiking exercise in. Usually not crowded. Lots of wildlife including otter, Turkey and many many song birds. Lots of options with great views of the pond. Mostly shaded."
"What a beautiful and peaceful place. I would recommend to bring snacks and water and do all the trails in one day. If you can’t the don’t miss the mystery tree trail. That one was my favorite, the smell of the Japanese tree is unbelievable. Go to their page before going, download the trail map, and read about the things you will see on your trip there."
"I enjoyed walking the trails here last weekend. Tall grassy fields with swallows and bluebird houses scattered throughout. There were so many birds flying around. They have a shed that is specifically for barn swallows but unfortunately your not able to go in or see the nests they build. There is decent amount of trails here. Some that lead around a nice pond and to a vernal pool. They also have some picnic tables where you can sit and have lunch"
"Fun hike around the pond. Lots of things to look at on the trail. Kids liked it. Lots of flowers and obviously birds. Saw a garder snake in the grass. Little too close for comfort but over all a nice place to get some fresh air on the way to visit Falmouth and woods hole. Stop and check it out."
