    Poucha Pond Reservation

    Hey is there another island over there?

    On a clear day, from the top of the hill at Poucha Pond Reservation you can see the outer Nantucket Islands of Muskeeget and Tuckernuck and even, some say, a mysterious land of pink pants beyond. Several fine and relatively easy trails weave their way over the 165 grassy and woodland acres.

    From the Land Bank’s Page for the Preserve: At the base of the hill is the Poucha Pond marsh, whose flatness is a visual juxtaposition from the aerie that hikers were enjoying just minutes earlier. This is a good place to spot herons and egrets feeding in the low saltmarsh.

    Getting there: 4.1 miles from the Chappy Ferry on the Wasque road.

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