About us
Ipswich River offers more than 10 miles of interconnecting trails that invite you to explore the forests, meadows, and wetlands.
Canoe along eight miles of the Ipswich River that run through the sanctuary and camp on Perkins Island, located a half-mile up the river (members can rent canoes from May through October). Members can also rent a cabin that is conveniently located close to the sanctuary’s office and program facilities and sleeps four.
In April, listen for the chorus of American toads and pickerel frogs. Watch for river otters, painted turtles, and great blue herons at various times throughout the year. Climb the drumlin and esker, landscape features created by a glacier 15,000 years ago. Huge rocks and exotic trees and shrubs that were part of a former arboretum provide an adventurous walk along the Rockery Trail.

Cynthia H. asked:My friend is visiting Boston and surroundings for the first time and wants to go to great places only locals know about. Nature and museums are the two things he's interested in the most. I haven't been here enough I think, so I'm asking the experts! What places do you recommend? It's him and his wife, in their 30s, and they have a car available. Thanks!Sharman P. replied:https://www.facebook.com/125787031834 Mass Audubon Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary, MFA
