Fox Island Marsh and Pilgrim Spring Woodlands Guide, including map and public walking trails
Area: Forest 57 acres; Marsh 135 acres; Walking Trails 2.14 miles
Description: This large swath of pitch pine and mixed oak forest land stretches from Baker Road off Paine Hollow Road to Pilgrim Spring Road and provides the only public pedestrian path between them. Each of the two trailhead parking lots provides access to trails which lead to marsh and harbor views. The jewel in the crown of these views is the splendid vista from Whale Bone Point of Fox Island Marsh and Blackfish Creek. The strategy of acquiring contiguous parcels from 1998-2008 has led to the largest public conservation property on the Outer Cape. The various linked trails allow the hiker to choose walks of many different distances and durations.
