Facilities

The Indian Brook Conservation Area is a sprawling area of woods 210 acres in size, and has approximately 3/4 of a mile of frontage along Indian Brook. Within the Conservation Area is the Manomet Recreation Area that holds four softball/little league fields, and a playground. Paved parking is readily available for the use of these public facilities. 

A recently cleared walking trail winds from the playground, across Indian Brook Road, and towards Shallow Pond. The trail is unique in that it was originally a game trail established by deer walking through the area, and so it's an 'out-and-back' trail, not a loop; a conservation boundary sign and a bench denotes the end of the trail. It moves past large old-growth pine trees and past several old swales created by heavy rains over hundreds of years. Guests wishing to walk the trial are asked to share the parking for the recreational field and may enter the trails behind the playground. An official trailhead kiosk with trail map was installed September of 2021, and is located adjacent to the playground in the recreation field complex.
