The Nook Preserve

The Nook Preserve is a 5 acre property with natural wetland habitats. This trail system is perfect for hiking. 5-acre Wildlands Trust property close to the mouth of the tidal Jones River, in an area once favored by Native Americans for summer encampments and later used as farmland by European settlers -- old stone walls still stand at the property's perimeter and along the marsh. A short trail leads about a third of a mile through the woods to the edge of the marsh, with a wooden bench about halfway along offering a lovely view of the river. Try Sydney Ice Pond for a similar trail experience featuring wetland.
