Ellis Estate Trails

Located in Scituate, Ellis Estate Trails is a 89 acre property featuring scenic pond views. The 2 mile trail is perfect for hiking. Built in 1830 by John Wade Bailey and originally named Elm Heights, the house was later renamed for his descendants, the Ellis family, and today serves as the headquarters of the Scituate Arts Association -- it has also appeared as a filming location for at least two horror movies. Visitors particularly enjoy this destination during spring wildflowers season. Also explore Cushing Memorial State Park and Old Rail Bed, other trails in Scituate. Try Whiton Woods and Cedar Crest for a similar trail experience featuring pond.
