Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary 1280 Horseneck Rd. Westport, MA 02790 508-636-2437 Hours: Trails open every day, dawn to dusk.
Directions: From Interstate 195, in Westport, take Exit 10 (Rt 88 South). Follow Route 88 to its end, passing Horseneck Beach on the way. Turn left at the ocean-side stop sign onto East Beach Road and follow the road east along the shoreline. As it makes an obvious, 90 degree bend to the left, turning north and away from shoreline, look for Sanctuary signs at the corner and right. This BEACH LOOP entrance is marked with Massachusetts Audubon Society logo signs. There is only limited parking on the town road (along Horseneck Road going north).
To start at the trailhead of the QUANSETT TRAIL SYSTEM or meet at the Field Station, continue 0.25 mile north away from beach to the Field Station and parking lot on your right. Trail entrance begins at the parking lot.
To reach the ALLENS NECK TRAIL SYSTEM of the Sanctuary, continue north on Horseneck Road for approximately 1.7 miles. Take the first right (also Horseneck Road but now entering Dartmouth). Proceed for 1 mile and take a right onto Allens Neck Road (can be difficult to see). At the sharp bend, continue straight, through the single white gate, and park immediately on your right. Massachusetts Audubon Society logo signs are posted.
