Four Ponds Conservation Area - Town Forest Tour Trail - Bourne Massachusetts Hikes

Named for the four bodies of water within its boundaries—Shop Pond, Freeman Pond, Upper Pond, and The Basin—this conservation area borders the Bourne Town Forest. The two areas combined provide a 280-acre wooded wonderland, perfect for exploring on foot, that is almost within earshot of busy Route 28. A variety of multiuse dirt roads and trails crisscross the mostly rolling terrain, which hosts a botanically rich array of trees and shrubs.
