Skunknett River Wildlife Sanctuary

Explore the sanctuary’s more than 100 acres of woodlands for a refreshing change of scenery from the beaches of Cape Cod. Escape the summer heat by walking along the sanctuary’s tree-covered trails to a small woodland pond where you may see great blue herons, black-crowned night-herons, and ospreys. In the spring, look in the pond for migrating ducks.
