Mass Audubon's Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary will be offering a variety of naturalist guided kayak trips throughout the Mid and Upper Cape. Join our experienced naturalists as we escape the crowds and discover the rich aquatic life and beauty of Cape Cod. Kayaking offers a unique and intimate connection to wildlife that is truly memorable. We will experience some of the Cape's most pristine waterways including Barnstable Harbor's Great Marsh and Sandy Neck barrier beach ecosystem, the Herring River in Harwich, Chase Garden Creek in Yarmouth Port, Scorton Creek in Sandwich and the Mashpee River in Mashpee. Kayaks, paddles and life vests provided.
Instructions and Directions: Cross the Sagamore Bridge onto Cape Cod. From Route 6, take exit 7 to Yarmouth Port. Go north one mile on Willow Street, and take a left onto Route 6A west. Proceed for approximately one mile, then take a right on Bone Hill Road (where you’ll see a large sign for the Harbor Point Restaurant) and a smaller sign for Long Pasture. Follow Bone Hill Road past the upper trail head parking area to the end of Bone Hill Rd and look for a large white Sanctuary sign on your left. Take this driveway to the Visitor Center parking area. Parking is available in the field to your left, and around the circular drive in front of the Visitor Center.
