This is a less-known recreation area in the town of Dennis in the Mid-Cape Cod area,so popular with summer visitors. Access if from Route 6A (Main St.), but there is very little parking at the entrance, and all that is visible are the 70-plots of the community garden. There are no signs indicating that there are hiking trails.
Take the dirt road around either side of the perimeter of the gardens to the back where there is more parking and a single sign marks the trailhead. There are actually several miles of trails through the woods here, a quiet and peaceful place to enjoy with easy terrain.
