SANDWICH CONSERVATON LANDS - SANDIWCH MASSACHUSETTS, CAPE COD
SANDWICH CONSERVATION LANDS CAPE COD
Conservation Lands
Sandwich has six conservation areas cared for by the Natural Resources Department. These beautiful and tranquil public lands provide opportunities for nature study, walking and hiking.
Briar Patch: Behind Green Briar Nature Center, Route 6A, 166 acres. Highlights include beechwoods on the shore of the pond, spectacular fall foliage from red maples, and blueberries in the swamp. Dense thickets of briars protect wildlife and provide them with an important food source.
Murkwood: Route 6A, 79 acres. Along the trails here you can find the rare Indian cucumber and observe an unparalleled panorama of salt marsh, bog and barrier beach, framed by cedar groves, tupelo trees and pines. The topography is essentially level, and several benches are located along the perimeter trail. Parking: Six parking spaces are designated for this area at the west end of the East Sandwich Fire Station.
Talbot's Point: Old County Road, 112 acres. This spectacular point of land extends 1/3 mile into Scorton Marsh. Several trails meander through stands of oak, white and red pine, along with tupelo, large pitch pines, beech and spruce trees. A short distance from the parking area, a fresh water spring bubbles into the marsh. Watch for osprey building their nests or a marsh hawk gliding over the marsh.
Maple Swamp: Service Road between Exits 3 and 4, 500 acres. Within this area lies some of the most dramatic topography on Cape Cod, ranging from 40 feet above sea level in the deepest hollow to a high point of 250 feet. Spectacular views north across Cape Cod Bay to Provincetown and south to Vineyard Sound can be had from several locations. Forest vegetation includes oaks, pines, holly, hickory and maple trees. Parking lot available.
Boyden Farm: Cotuit Road just south of Farmersville Road, 48 acres. Area includes 730-foot frontage on Peter's Pond, large wildlife management area, and walking trail. The land slopes steeply down to the water's edge. Look for wild turkeys, deer, red fox, owls and hawks.
Ryder: Cotuit Road. This parcel features extensive frontage on Wakeby Pond. Fishing access is open to the public year round. Abandoned cranberry bogs provide a living laboratory for the process of succession. Look for wildlife management areas, a small secluded pond and many walking trails.

MORAINE TRAIL - (FALMOUTH) (CAPE COD)
Moraine Trail—Northern Section
Back to Previous Page
Only a few parcels of open space existed along the spine of the glacial moraine that stretches from Bourne to Woods Hole when the town’s Park and Open Space Plan of 1986 identified the goal of establishing a moraine greenway. By specifically targeting land for acquisition for this purpose, The 300 Committee helped the town establish the 10-mile Moraine Trail. Starting at Route 151, the trail follows an easement down the wildlife corridor between Route 28 and Ballymeade Country Club, then passes through conservation land, crossing Thomas Landers, Blacksmith Shop and Brick Kiln roads to Long Pond and Grews Pond. Because it follows the moraine, the wooded terrain is rugged, with high ridges and steep valleys.
The northern section of the Moraine Trail runs from Route 151 to Thomas Landers Road, about 2.9 miles. Significant progress in the greenway came in 1995 when, by luck of availability, the town purchased a total of 126 acres on the moraine. Four of the properties were in the northern section, including 64 acres belonging to the family of Anna Gordon. At the family’s request, the town named the trail in this area after her. Another large piece of the greenway was added with the town’s purchase of two parcels in 2002 from CLSV Associates Limited Partnership, the developers of Ballymeade Estates. The 115-acre parcel, called Wyldewood after the subdivision CLSV planned for the site, surrounds 14.7 acres of required open space around Highwood Lane. The required open space is still owned by the developers. The other parcel, 14.6 acres called Turtle Pond Fields, is north of Wyldewood, not far from Longshank Circle and Cairn Ridge Road. Part of the trail follows an old dirt way called Ox Pasture Road. Town maps in the 1800s show Ox Pasture Road leading north from Thomas Landers, which then was called Mill Road because it was the way to Dexter’s Mill on the Coonamessett River. Parking is available on Route 151, east of Route 28. The trail begins opposite the Route 28 North sign. To enter at Thomas Landers Road, it is best to park along Falmouth Technology Park Drive and walk to back to Thomas Landers. The trail entrance is just before the Route 28 North ramp.
A detailed map of the Moraine Trail is available at The 300 Committee office.
