Description
The rise of land known as Peaked Hill is the island’s summit. The highest point in the rise, 311 feet above sea level, has quietly reposed for years; its 308' cousin, located almost a quarter of a mile away, is renowned on the island as a World War II military lookout and garrison. The various promontories enjoy vistas of the south shore, Nomans Land Island, the Aquinnah peninsula, Menemsha Bight and — in the far distance over the Vineyard Sound, Elizabeth Islands and Buzzards Bay — the Mattapoisett coast. Boulders are strewn about, including the Wee Devil’s Bed and Stonecutter’s Rock.

Uses
Nature study, hiking, picnicking, mountain-biking, horseback-riding, dog-walking, hunting (with permission), scenic vista, universal access (difficult terrain) off the Middle Road.

Directions
