    Cape Poge Wildlife Refuge - Sunset on the beach

    Cape Poge Wildlife Refuge

    (5 reviews)

    The Wildlife Refuge is an excellently kept premises and a wonderful little gem on Chappaquiddick…read more When visiting the refuge, expect to spend about three hours there. Between walking around the grounds and a two-hour guided truck tour, there is plenty to see and do. There are a lot of animals on the refuge that seem to have acclimated to tourism. If you're interested in taking pictures of, say, baby seagulls and deer, you'd definitely be able to. The truck tour brings you out to a historic lighthouse that is well maintained, accessible and still active after over a century. You'll learn a great deal of history from signage within the lighthouse, as well as your tour guide. For a group of four, this was an excellent trip. If you're a Trustee member (basically a donor to the properties maintained by the Trustees on Martha's Vineyard), you'll get an excellent deal on the tour here.

    A beach for a long…read morewalk A beach can't get any better than this. Even in the summer you can find a place all to your own and in the off season walk for miles and not see another person. The best way is to bike out to the Chappy ferry and ride east to the beach. Can't really ride in the heavy sand but you can park your bike and walk along the ocean. A great walk is north out to the Cape Pogue Lighthouse. The lighthouse is 55 feet tall and constructed in 1893. Because of the wild and exposed a lighthouse out here has been either rebuilt or moved at least nine times. Getting out here is the problem and you either need a four wheel vehicle and a permit or walk. It's about 5 miles, so it's a pretty good hike in the sand, and you have to bring your own water because there's nothing out there, But that's the whole point. You have a piece of paradise all to yourself. Can't think of a better way to spend a day.

    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!
