Dennis Pond Trail
This section of the Dennis Pond Trail at Dennis Pond Conservation Area in Yarmouth, Massachusetts is an easy 0.2-mile out-and-back hike that leads to two view points along the pond.Hike Description
This hike begins along the eastern side of Dennis Pond and follows the red-blazed path in, heading west, toward the pond. The hike heads north to reach an open viewing area of Dennis Pond where a stone bench sits. The bench reads "Quick Dip? RKN (1937 - 2019)". You can also use this section of the pond to hop into the water during warm months. The hike then heads south and west along the edge of Dennis Pond for a very short ways before turning around. There's another view of the pond on the south side, where this GPS track turns around, but the viewing area is not open or nice like the first - it's a bit more overgrown and doesn't appear to be a great place to hop into the pond, if you're looking to swim.
Parking
Hikers will find a small parking turnout at the parking coordinates provided on Summer Street. The turnout is large enough for about 3 vehicles max.
Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and must be cleaned up after.
Warning
Buggy: This trail had a lot of black flies even on March 31, 2023. During the late Spring and Summer, these tiny black flies are likely a lot worse.
