Morris Island Loop Trail, Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge

Highlight • Trail

Tip by

7.10 km

The Chatham Light and Chatham Light Beach are on the"elbow" of Cape Cod and are an iconic part of the area. The lighthouse is still in operation by the U.S. Coast Guard station, where Search and Rescue, maritime law enforcement, and Homeland Security missions are carried out from here. From the road you can see both the lighthouse and the beach, where there are often seals (and occasionally sharks!) swimming in the water.

Samuel Hawes Park

Highlight • Forest

Samuel Hawes Park is a small nature preserve just southeast of the small Chatham Municipal Airport. There are nature trails around the property that take you to three small ponds where there are abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. It's a nice place to pause on your ride because it's right next to the Old Colony Rail Trail. Here is a nice PDF about the park: masstrails.com/cache/1269_0.pdf

Indian Hill Road Conservation Area

Highlight • Forest

Once an Algonquin agricultural site for growing crops like corn, squash, beans, pumpkins and sunflowers, the open space just north of the trail is now full of wetlands, meadows, woods and wildflowers. This is also the location of the famous "Warbler Alley" — you can probably guess what sort of birds you'll see there.

Emery Pond

Highlight • Lake

Emery Pond is a small freshwater pond in Chatham, Massachusetts. It is located right off the Old Colony Rail Trail/Wilfred Road and is a great place to look out for birds and other wildlife.
