About This Trail

Imported description

The Coastal Land Trust was placed into 67 acres of land by the Foy family. It will be used for educational programs. You can walk along the high and dry trails that wind down toward the pond as you leave the parking areas. You can take a short walk up the road towards the house. A longer walk will allow you to double back through the woods along the outflow stream and return along the sandy run.
