Indian Brook Conservation Area + Manomet Recreation Area

Plymouth

Dog friendly ADA: No Free

Located in Plymouth, Indian Brook Conservation Area + Manomet Recreation Area is a 210 acre property featuring scenic pond views. This trail system is perfect for hiking. A recently cleared walking trail runs from the playground, across Indian Brook Road, toward Shallow Pond -- it began life as a deer path rather than a planned route, so it is out-and-back rather than a loop, passing large old-growth pines and centuries-old rain-carved swales along the way. A trailhead kiosk with a trail map, installed in September 2021, sits near the playground in the recreation complex. Also explore Billington Street Park and Clear Pond Conservation Area, other trails in Plymouth. Try Clear Pond Conservation Area for a similar trail experience featuring pond.
