Pape Reservation is a 10 acre piece of land located off 3A in Cohasset. The conservation area is accessible from the Cohasset Water Treatment Facility parking lot. This is a very basic trail but does include access to Lily Pond and some quiet moments in the woods. Like many Cohasset and South Shore trails, you can expect to see some significant rock formations and stone walls criss-crossing the forest. TRAILS: The trails at Pape Reservation are fairly wide and clear of brush. Largely the paths consist of even terrain - but there are some parts with significant rocks that would make using a stroller very challenging. At the time of our visit, we also noticed at least 3 trees that had fallen across the trails. Cohasset Conservation Trust normally maintains great...

Miller Woods is a 46 acre piece of undeveloped land located near Norwell town center. The trail network consists of a great picnic area that is perfect for a couple of friends - or a large family. Miller Woods is great year-round but is perfect in the summer heat as the heavy wooded area will provide some relief from the heat. Miller Woods has remained unchanged for over 150 years. TRAILS: The trails are well maintained and the network is very simple. It is not suitable for many strollers due to the consistently uneven terrain - however the picnic area is perfectly easy to get to for all abilities. POINTS OF INTEREST: Great picnic area! Two sturdy big tables and a few benches for those who want some personal space....
Ingram Park in Cohasset is a trail system on just under 30 acres of historic farm land. The land is protected and managed by the Cohasset Conservation Trust which purchased the most recent 6 acres in 2014. Eagle Scouts from Cohasset Troop 28 have been working on the planned trail system. Depending on the time of your visit, you have a high probability of seeing some wildlife. Due to our winter visit, it was evident that deer are frequent guests and we happened to come across a large family of wild turkeys. TRAILS: The trail system is very clearly marked and the trail map is accurate. Each trail offers varying geographic elements. Despite the simple network of the trails, significant boulders, roots, and smaller rocks make these trails largely impassible for strollers. POINTS...
Weir River Farm is by far one of our favorite spots on the South Shore. There is something permanently amazing about a big red barn, farm animals, and old stone walls. If you are debating about whether to become a Trustees of the Reservation member, Weir River Farm should be the tipping point ... especially if you have children. The barnyard is your own personal menagerie of animals with sheep, goats, pigs, horses, llamas, chickens, cows, and even a bunny named Joey. In addition to being a place to visit for the afternoon, the Trustees offer many great educational and fun activities onsite. There are children's and teen barnyard programs, BYOB & art viewing events, sheep sheering festivals, and Christmas trees for sale in the winter. Frequently they have meat...
North Hill Marsh can best be described as a wildlife sanctuary within a town forest - and that is literally what it is. The 130+ acres Audubon property is situated within the Duxbury Eastern Greenbelt. The Greenbelt consists of approximately 1,000 acres of contiguous open space - so a true refuge from the hustle and bustle of life. The area is marked by oak and pine woodlands, cranberry bogs, and a 90-acre pond. TRAILS: The trails are well maintained but can vary wildly in terms of terrain and width. There is probably a decent path suitable for strollers however this location is really suited to those not worried about accessibility. Some of the trails we have been on are very narrow and surrounded by pine trees - and others loop around...
