This is another terrific property owned by the always terrific Trustees of Reservations which preserves land throughout Massachusetts for all to enjoy.
This is a huge wooded space hundreds of acres large.
Whitney and Thayer is a great place to come to walk, bike, horseback ride and you're welcome to bring your dog if you have one. Leash please.
The property here spans both towns of Hingham and Cohasset and unlike some other Trustees properties, is free to all who enter.
As an added bonus, you can readily access Turkey Hill from here and gain sight of the South Shore and Cohasset harbor.
There are trail markers but it's wise to download a map and bring it with you.
Bring water to drink for you and any animal companions you might have with you.
As well, make sure you've got your bug spray applied. Ticks abound everywhere in these parts so you want to make sure you're as protected as can be.
Having done all those things like a good boy or girl Scout, you'll be certain to enjoy a spectacular day in the outdoors admiring all manner of trees, bushes, flowers, birds and if you're lucky an occasional animal sighting.
This is a beautiful tract of land in which to get some exercise and revel in the solitude and grandeur. Well worth a visit any time of year.
Get your exercise on, and get out there! read more
