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.
