The hike: This is a short hike covering 2 Brewster Conservation Trust properties. We'll connect the two by a short walk along the road. WE WILL MEET AT THE COMMUNITY GARDENS (Eddy Sisters Trail).

The Eddy Sisters Trail at the Community Gardens is named for the 2 granddaughters of Torndike Eddy who owned the property and includes a maple swamp, upland forest and dikes of old cranberry bogs.

The Eddy Bay Trail is located on the site of the planting fields of the Saquatucket Sachemship and later farms of the colonists in the 1600s. The area continued to serve as pasture for Brewster farming families through the 1800s. The path leads past 1870s barn and house foundations and holly tree and pine groves to the highest bluff in Brewster overlooking Cape Cod Bay.

The level of this hike due to length, the general flatness of most of the trail and our planned leisurely pace.
