Burrage Pond Wildlife Management Area

Located in Hanson, Burrage Pond Wildlife Management Area is a 000+ acre property featuring scenic pond views. The 10 mile trail is ideal for hiking and birding. Once logged for cedar and then peat before becoming a large cranberry operation, it is a favorite among birders, especially for the wood ducks that breed here -- plan for a full day if you want to see much of it, since 2,000+ acres is not a quick walk.
