Retreat Into Nature at Nickerson State Park

Less than a five-minute drive from our property, you can escape into a whole new world entirely.

At Nickerson State Park, say goodbye to the sand dunes and salt marshes that Cape Cod is famous for and enter a world of sprawling hills, dense woodlands, and shimmering ponds formed from glaciers over 10,000 years ago. Spanning across 1900 acres, this state park is home to campsites, hiking trails, biking paths, picnic areas, and so much more. Gather your friends and family and enjoy a day (or two) of exploring the natural beauty of this special respite of Cape Cod. Start your morning off with a moderate hike—some paths even connect to the rail trail—or spend the afternoon kayaking on Flax Pond. The park even has catch-and-release trout fishing year-round! No matter how you like to retreat into nature, you can create a day uniquely you at Nickerson State Park.
