Description
All of the land bank’s central Chappaquiddick preserves are amalgamated in this reservation. The eponymous three ponds — Brine’s, Buttonbush and Cape Poge — are arrayed along the spine of the cross-Chappaquiddick trail. Noteworthy are the wild fields along Old Indian Trail; the Brine’s Pond itself, which hosts an island of beetlebung trees situated in the water like an iris in an eye; and the lonely Hickory Cove, where an empty, grassy ridge sits above Cape Poge Pond.

Uses
Nature study, hiking, picnicking, mountain-biking, horseback-riding, dog-walking, hunting (with permission), fishing, kayaking, swimming, scenic vista, universal access (moderate terrain) off Old Indian Trail.

Directions
Turn right off the Chappaquiddick Road 1.7 miles past the ferry slip. Trailhead, shared with the Chappaquiddick community center, is here; bicycle rack is just up the Chappy Road on the right near the pond.
