Dennis Pond Conservation Area

About Dennis Pond Conservation Area

Explore the serene beauty of the Dennis Pond Conservation Area in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, with two distinct trails offering easy access to stunning pond views. The Dennis Pond Trail provides a quick and accessible 0.2-mile out-and-back hike to two viewpoints. At the northern viewpoint, find a welcoming stone bench, a possible spot for a refreshing quick dip and a less maintained southern side. Perfect for a short nature escape, this trail features limited parking for approximately three vehicles and welcomes leashed dogs. Remember to be prepared for the possibility of black flies, particularly during warmer months.

For a slightly longer adventure, discover the Dennis Pond Trail (West Trailhead), a 1-mile out-and-back hike along the edge of Dennis Pond. This easy trail features multiple cutouts to enjoy panoramic vistas of the water, along with an optional spur trail leading to an additional viewpoint. Please note that this trail is accessible year round, however, keep in mind hunting seasons, leashed dog requirements, and the need to clean up after your pet. Be mindful of potential bugs, especially closer to the water's edge, to fully enjoy this picturesque Yarmouth gem.
