These days, the entire city, approximately 60 miles from Boston, seems to be getting a fresh coat of paint. Signs of rejuvenation are everywhere, from a park honoring abolitionists to new murals on old buildings.

Nature
The Reserve is adjacent to — and shares trails with — approximately 60 owned by the Dartmouth Conservation Commission. This parcel is dominated by oak and beech forest with deciduous wetlands made up of red maple and American holly. The trail system follows an old bridle path, built and used by a farm on Gulf Road, which path was specifically designed to train horses for trail riding. There remains an old stone reinforced causeway leading across the saltmarsh from the woodland to Star of the Sea Drive, including a stone bridge only accessible at low tide. https://dnrt.org/starofthesea/
