Description
North Neck, narrow and tall, rises out of the Nantucket Sound and Cape Poge Pond. From its heights, you can see the region’s geography: the curve of the Cape Poge Elbow, the Vineyard’s east shore and the far-off islands of Nantucket County. Two beaches are visible: Cape Poge Gut and Cape Poge Pond beach. This land is a fallout site for tired birds and butterflies migrating south across the sound, affording excellent wildlife viewing
Go 1.3 miles up the Chappaquiddick Road from the ferry. Turn left onto North Neck Road. Preserve is on left 1.1 miles up the road. First trailhead is here; second trailhead is located 0.1 miles further up the road.
