This hidden gem has 2-3 miles of wooded trails for trailing running, dog walking, and light hiking…read more While the paved rail trail and the small beaches along the way are fun to explore, it's the wooded trails that are a win for me when I want a shaded run that's easy on the knees. Trails are well maintained and easy to navigate. Parking is available from the Main St Rail Trail Lot. For the wooded trail, you can either access it from the smaller secondary lot or take the main Rail Trail about a quarter mile down towards the river until you start seeing small paths on your left. There is a dirt service road with power lines running parallel to the rail trail that you will cross over. These power lines will also help navigate you back if you get turned around. I had to knock of a star because the trails are not marked so you can get turned around. Luckily the loops are short so you can't get too lost but don't be surprised if you end up in someone's driveway or come across a dirt road you weren't expecting. There are a few spots along the loops that have benches if you want to take a break and enjoy the views.

Great place to walk the dog. Beautiful views of the river and marshes along the way. However,…read moretrails are not well-marked so you're never sure exactly where you are (as a newbie). Clear trail markers would be very helpful. Though there were several dogs off-leash, most were controlled by their owners. Definitely worth a visit!

Approximately 10 years ago, I would've given it a four star. And back in the 50's 60s 70s and 80s I…read morewould've given it a five star. I took a drive-through this past year and was shocked at the overgrowth. It was a real bummer. That place was my childhood. We knew every inch of it and all the paths that led to the water. Or the little camp store. Some of the best beaches were overgrown. Such a shame. The state division that handles the maintenance really needs to take a look at this and bring it back to the beauty it used to be

Climbing under the rock too. Indian stories and takes about the rock are listed on a plaque on the rock. Not, necessarily a day long event, but cool on a nice day.

There are fun little exhibits to check out as well as a small cute playground. You can also hike along the beach and tidal pools during low tide with beauty views of Sandy Neck beach across the harbor. You could do a beach day here as well as there are small Sandy areas for chairs but it's more of a salt water marsh experience than an ocean beach. There is a small fee per person. Plenty of parking by the visitor center and a small lot by the beach entrance. Definitely worth checking out with the kids!

Thompson's is a large, undeveloped conservancy area with several walking trails where dog owners are comfortable walking their dogs on- and off-leash. There are trash containers and lots of animal scat on and near trails along with thorns, nettles, and other things to get caught in dogs coats.
