Trail Description

This is an enclosed play area for dogs. However there are several trails nearby, at Driftway Conservation Park, the Driftway Multi-Purpose Path, and Herring River Trail.

Habitats and Wildlife

Located within the watershed of Herring River, which is a continuation of First Herring Brook.

First Herring Brook finds its source in Scituate in the area west of Route 3A, between First Parish Road and Old Oaken Bucket Road. It flows through the First Herring Brook Reservoir, and downstream to Old Oaken Bucket Pond, passing through two dams. Below the historic Stockbridge Grist Mill, at the Driftway, it flows into Herring River, a major tributary to the North River. Herring River flows into the North River near The Spit.
