North Hill Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary

Owned and managed by Mass Audubon and the Town of Duxbury, this sanctuary offers walking trails with sweeping water views, and observation decks from which to spot herons, hawks, owls, and waterfowl from beneath the quiet majesty of tall white pines. The Pond Loop circles North Hill Marsh, providing delightful pond, cranberry bog, and wood land views. A section of trail on the east side of the marsh is part of the historic 1623 "Green Harbor Trail" that connected Plymouth and Marshfield.
