Sippican Lands Trust acquired the 248-acre White Eagle property in 2005 in partnership with the Town of Marion and other local conservation organizations.
Features:
White Eagle supports a rich diversity of habitats including upland pine, mixed hardwood forest, shrub and wooded swamp, freshwater marsh and cranberry bogs. The White Eagle property and surrounding land make up a 482-acre contiguous parcel of land that is home to several rare and threatened species.
Part of the White Eagle property features a working 23-acre cranberry bog that has been continuously cultivated for over 100 years.* White Eagle offers miles of trails for dog walking, hiking, biking, running, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, hunting (by permission only), and other recreational pursuits. Eagle Scouts and SLT volunteers helped construct bridges and boardwalks on some of the trails at White Eagle.
Location:
Located off of Route 6 in Marion. Turn onto Parlowtown Road and follow this road until you reach the cul-de-sac. Veer left onto the dirt road and follow past an abandoned cranberry bog on your right.
Parking:
Parking is available directly past Goldovitz Bog (managed by MOSAC) and along the dirt roadside. The kiosk is a short walk beyond. Alternatively, you may access our White Eagle trails via our Hoff Property, which has a parking lot and trailhead on Route 6 across from Harding Sails. Highly recommended for ease of access!

*Please note: The bog at White Eagle is operated under an agreement with a local farmer for commercial cranberry production. Please be aware that farming operations include operating heavy equipment, placing honey bees, using occasional fertilizer, and applying fungicide/pesticide. We may interrupt access for short periods during certain farming operations and appreciate your cooperation. Please note any signs at entry points of the bog area.
