Facilities

Colloquially known as the Hio Hill Preserve, this 116-acre preserve backs up to another 73 acres of association-owned open space, providing excellent habitat for deer and songbirds which are frequently seen therein. The property was acquired by the Town in 2018 with a brand new trail cut and blazed in 2019 to allow visitors the opportunity to hike to the top of Hio Hill. The trail ambles through pitch pine barrens and passes near several large glacial erratics as it winds its way up the hill. This Hio Hill trail loop is short, but showcases unique features of the property. These include glacial erratics and boulders, an open area around one of the largest pitch pines on the property, and excellent views of the ocean from the top of the hill- which on clear days areas as far as Eastham and Wellfleet can be seen from the multiple viewing areas.
