Flax Pond Conservation Land Dennis, MA 02638

"Nice walking trails. We walked with our dog and met a few other people walking with their dogs."

"Our first time at Flax Pond and definitely not our last! Nice wide trails, for the majority of the walk. I would have definitely got myself lost if it wasn't for using AllTrails app."

"I've been coming here since the 70s, long before it was conservation land. The trail isn't too long, but is a nice hike through rolling hills of pine and oak stands. There's virtually no poison ivy on the entire 5' wide path. I love this place if you couldn't tell!!"

"Very good swimming section....! Knowing that millions of people around the world would be watching in person and on television and expecting great things from him — at least one more gold medal for America, if not another world record — during this, his fourth and surely his last appearance in the World Olympics, and realizing that his legs could no longer carry him down the runway with the same blazing speed and confidence in making a huge, eye-popping leap that they were capable of a few years ago when he set world records in the 100-meter dash and in the 400-meter relay and won a silver medal in the long jump, the renowned sprinter and track-and-field personality Carl Lewis, who had known pressure from fans and media before but never, even as a professional runner, this kind of pressure, madeonly a few appearances in races during the few months before the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, partly because he was afraid of raising expectations even higher and he did not want to be distracted by interviews and adoring fans who would follow him into stores and restaurants demanding autographs and photo-opportunities, but mostly because he wanted to conserve his energies and concentrate, like a martial arts expert, on the job at hand: winning his favorite competition, the long jump, and bringing home another Gold Medal for the United States, the most fitting conclusion to his brilliant career in track and field."

"Quiet trails amidst the gently rolling, forested landscape. Dog friendly, nice people. Great for mountain biking as well. The pond is clean and perfect to swim across."
