Falmouth Nature Preserve 2.5 miles

The Falmouth Nature Preserve can be a little hard to find, but once you make your way in you will want to visit frequently. It is a wonderful place for winter snowshoeing and skiing. The park welcomes dogs on leash and is open from dawn to dusk.

Five well-marked dirt trails wind through a mixed forest of hemlock, beech, maple, and yellow and white birch. The trails extend from the parking lot to the floodplain of Mill Creek and the Mill Creek Preserve. There is a comprehensive carved wooden trail map in the parking lot.

Trail access:
The 76-acre preserve is located on Route 88 (Foreside Road) about 0.7 miles south of Town Landing Market. The entrance to the parking lot is marked by a small white sign with the letter “FNP” and is 0.3 miles north of the bridge over Mill Creek, just past 176 Foreside Road.
