    Sweetened Water Preserve

    From the Land Bank’s description: Edgartown takes justifiable pride in its scenic West Tisbury Road, which is the occidental entrance into town center. Formerly overgrown and hosting a prominent house, this property was restored to open grassland via the off-premises relocation of the house and a round of mowing by the land bank. As a result, the land now blends into the road’s long corridor of fields and the mowing has exposed the blue disk of the Sweetened Water Pond.

    Getting there: Edgartown West Tisbury Road, .8 miles from Cook Street, just before Morning Glory Farm.

    For more information, visit the official Land Bank Website. Also, be sure to check out their cool map.
