The trail has a variety of terrains and can be easy or challenging, depending on where you go. There are some biiiigggg hills that give even a seasoned bike rider a bit of resistance, but on the flip side you get to enjoy the ride down the other side. Lots of great views of the dunes and beaches from various points on the trail. Definitely worth it to ride up to Race Point Beach and then take the trail over to Herring Cove Beach. There are restrooms and water fountains along the way but because it's so exposed, I recommend taking water and wearing a handkerchief or hat under your bike helmet. There can be lots of runners and bikers on the trail and most people seem to realize it's not their personal Formula 1 speedway but there are a few blind curves so use caution. Overall, a trail that feels very safe and is in good shape.

This is a breathtaking trail. So many varied views: forests, dunes, ocean, bay. This is HILLY! It…read morewas a ton of fun on e-bikes, but you will surely suffer on a regular bike lol. It was in pretty good condition when we rode it, but with the possibility of drifting sand, water, sharp turns, and some bumps, be mindful especially if you're a casual cyclist. With all the extensions to Race Point, Herring Cove, and Bennet pond, you can make this about a 10 mile ride. I strongly suggest you allow yourself enough time to travel leisurely at times and enjoy the scenery, and also to hop off your bike and enjoy the beaches for a bit.

There's a shallow pool here that's open in the summer. Bathrooms right next to it with a pay phone. Haven't seen one of those in ages. Lots of picnic tables with grills and water fountains. Parking is plentiful although I hear it gets pretty crowded in the warmer months. If you love jumping on your mountain bike and exploring as much as I do then this is the place to go. I will definitely be putting this in my rotation of places to ride my bike.

Our past few hikes have been around Carr Pond. We drive down Division Street, to Carr Pond Road, and park street side. There are a couple of parking lots, both before Carr Pond Road, and after. Just depends on how long you want your hike to last, and where you want to walk. There are DEM signs posted on a tree and obvious signs that cars have been parking in this particular spot on Carr Pond Road. The hike around the pond has taken just over 3 miles to well over 4.5 miles. We usually wander through the interconnecting trails as the mood strikes us. It is important, when taking a walk quite this long, that you DO bring a bottle or two of water per person. You will also appreciate bug spray. I have forgotten the bug spray, and although definitely 'do-able', not quite as enjoyable. This particular summer, we have had a lot of rain and mushrooms are everywhere along the trail. A few large puddles have developed along the trail that are full of small toads (I just love these cute little critters). The trails are very well maintained for the most part and it is easy to walk 'around' these low lying areas. A few less travelled paths are a bit over grown, but nothing that isn't easily navigable. The pond itself is large with a variety of areas where you can picnic (bug spray), meditate and just enjoy the serenity of the pond. There are also a number of old building foundations, dams, rock walls and a historical cemetary. We use a phone app to track our hikes as we do tend to wander and it's a good way to see when we are close to our pathway out. After a few visits, you begin to recognize where you are but the first couple of trips can be questionable. The change is altitude is minimal with a couple of paths that have a good 'up grade' (or down grade as the case may be). You do need quality footware here as the paths are a variety of gravelly, rocky, roots and dirt. It change from one type to another on any of the individual paths. The trails are color coded if you want to stick to just one. The path width can also chagee dramatically from four person wide to barely one person wide on any given trail. It's best to be prepared for all possibilities. Most of the path around Carr pond is in shade but if you wander into other areas of the BIg River Management Area, you may be in full sun for most of the walk, so plan to wear a hat, bring sunscreen, have water and maybe a snack. Most of all, Have Fun!

If you're new to this preserve - as we were - better download the AllTrails app onto your smartphone as unfortunately, trail blazes are virtually non-existent and there's no map posted at the trailhead. But it is nice making your way to the two lily-covered ponds, though viewing them in the height of summer is tough with all the leaves and undergrowth. We intend to visit again in the fall (when the colors should be spectacular!) and early winter.

A part of Nantucket that unfortunately most visitors never get to see. Located about 6 miles east…read moreof Nantucket Town the bogs are "owned" by the Nantucket Conservation Foundation. The main parking area is located on Milestone Rd but there are entry points off of Polis Rd if you know where to look. The bogs are just that, cranberry bogs with miles of dirt roads or more properly paths. You definitely need a good dirt bike because the sand gets deep in place and the paths have many nasty ruts. Not exactly single track but it does get challenging in places. There are crude maps of the area but I end up getting lost just about every time I venture into the area but that's half the fun. I never know where I am going to end up. No motorize vehicles are allowed and even in the busy summer months you can ride for hours without seeing another person. However birds such as hawks and small animals are numerous in the bogs. Altar Rock, the highest point on the island can be reach through the paths and quiet and solitude is always in abundance. The bogs are also nice for hiking but remember to bring water with you because you probably will get lost. But that's all right because getting lost in here , and spending more time than you planned is definitely not a bad thing. This is one of those special places I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

There also numerous, nicely marked trails off this main loop. It's a fairly quiet trail and easy enough that the occasional toddler and stroller passed. At one end of the trail, you need to walk a short way across a bridge under construction. There's not much of a sidewalk to use, but the traffic was very quiet during our weekend outing. According to their website, the initiation of Parklands acquisition was in 1899, and in 1900 the town brought in Warren H. Manning to help architect the entire layout.  There is no parking on the pond boat ramp or at the spaces next to  the bath house. This area is well-marked and the Hopedale Police Department will continue to ticket unauthorized and non-handicap vehicles parked in this area. This area is a drop-off zone only. Vehicles should be parked along Hopedale Street. We found plenty of parking on Hopedale Street, and used the green space there to lunch by the pond. There are benches scattered along the pond loop. Dogs are allowed on a leash and the trail is well marked, which according to their website is the result of the efforts of Mark Andolina, Jr., a Boy Scout from Hopedale Troop 1, who created a new trail map and installed new trail markers as part of his Eagle Scout project. We look forward to a return visit.
