Purchased by SLT in 1995.
Features:
This property covers 30 acres from Point Road down to Blankenship Cove. In summer, several species of heron feed along the shore, including great blues, greens, and yellowlegs, while in winter buffleheads, mallards, and swans abound. The protected diamondback terrapin lives here year ‘round. On a clear day, Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and the northern Elizabeth Islands can be seen.
In 2014, the Marion Community Preservation Committee accepted Sippican Lands Trust’s application requesting funds to rebuild the viewing platform at Peirson Woods. The $14,250 in funding from the Marion Community Preservation Committee was used for the replacement and “rehabilitation” of the existing viewing platform facility at Peirson Woods. Sippican Lands Trust is grateful for this generous community support.
Location:
Located roughly 1.5 miles southeast of the intersection of Route 6 and Point Rd, past the Marion Golf Club on the right-hand side.
Parking:
Off-site parking is available along Point Rd, with a small space for vehicles at the trailhead.
