The Wheeler loop navigates woodland, bog, and field with a bench view of Middle Pond. A restored 2024 barn anchors the working farm. Leashed dogs welcome.
Moderate · Natural trail
At ~1,200 acres, this is the largest town conservation area on Cape Cod, famous among riders as the 'Trail of Tears' (TOT). Roughly 20+ miles of twisty, rolling singletrack wind through pine-oak forest with short technical climbs, rock gardens, and patches of soft sand. Primarily a mountain-biking destination, it's also popular for hiking, trail running, and cross-country skiing. Note: hunting is permitted in season, so wear blaze orange in fall/winter.
Easy · Natural trail
A popular town park in Marstons Mills purchased in 1989 for its historic and scenic values. Open fields and wooded walking paths surround Mystic Lake, and the park is best known as the home of a well-used disc (frisbee) golf course. An easy, family-friendly spot for strolling and recreation near the heart of the village.
Easy · 2.5 mi · Mixed
About 2.5 miles of easy walking trails through ~246 acres of remarkably diverse wetland habitat: stone walls, abandoned cranberry bogs, tidal and freshwater streams, open marsh, and hardwood swamp. The northern trail toward Route 6A crosses a boardwalk and two bridges with views over Bridge Creek marsh, excellent for birdwatching. Connects to Jenkins Wildlife Sanctuary and Bridge Street Conservation Area for longer loops.
