What is Callery-Darling Conservation Area like?
A diverse coastal conservation area north of Route 6A stretching from Homers Dock Road to the salt marshes west of Center Street. Trails wind through salt and freshwater wetlands, abandoned cranberry bogs now grown into red maple swamps, historic saltwater bogs with original dikes, and pine-oak forest. Excellent birding. The signature Bass Hole Boardwalk is reached from the Gray's Beach end. Leashed dogs welcome on trails year-round (not on the boardwalk).
