East Pasture Preserve

The preserve is a node for hikers in a planned long-distance trail that will connect to the Black Brook Preserve and Toad Rock Reservation … but is a stand-alone and stand-out for any visitor. A stream wigwags under footbridges; Nashaquitsa Pond spots up in the distance as the path descends; and the salt-marsh glows in sunlight.  Signs mark the limit of the public beach and the start of the abutting private properties.  As for kayaking, the terrain is too rugged and the distance too far to portage a boat from the trailhead; kayakers instead should approach the preserve via the Menemsha Pond.
