The Flax Pond Trail at Flax Pond Conservation Lands in Dennis, Massachusetts is a moderate 0.7-mile out-and-back hike that leads to several view points along the banks of Flax Pond.
Hike Description
This hike begins at the main parking lot for Flax Pond, located on Setucket Road at the coordinates provided and follows the main trail as it heads downhill, passing an open area of power lines, before reaching Flax Pond.
Once at Flax Pond, this GPS track heads west to check out the southern banks of the pond that features views of the water. Next, this hike heads east and then north along Flax Pond to reach an open, sandy sloping bank, that features westward-facing views of the pond. Here is where this hike turns back to parking, but Flax Pond has plenty of more miles of trails to explore beyond this short hike.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and cleaned up after.
Carry-in Carry-out

As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
