Wildlands Trust - Canoe Club Preserve
After a short stretch of rocky ground Canoe Club Preserve is a short 1/2 mile loop along a boardwalk through wetlands. It is a hidden path tucked behind Orta Restaurant and Instinctive Parent, and the boardwalk makes it fun for kids of all ages.

Tubbs Meadow Trail
Mill Street, Pembroke, MA 02359
Tubbs Meadow is a great flat dirt road around a neglected cranberry bog. The loop is great for little legs but be careful because there is open water which could pose a hazard to curious wanderers.

Wildlands Trust - The Tucker Preserve
West Elm Street, Pembroke, MA 02359
This is a great hike along the Indian Head River. It offers beautiful views of the river and can also be accessed by canoe. The hiking here is a little more difficult and better for older children. These trails connect to Rocky Run Conservation area in Hanson which can make for a full day of hiking. Learn more and find a trail map at wildlandstrust.org/the-tucker-preserve/.
