Scusset Beach State Reservation Sagamore Ma,
Massachusetts, Cape Cod,
MA
Join us for a Show and Go easy 4 mile hike at Sagamore Hill Military Reservation and finish on the Cape Cod Canal. Initially the site was an Indian Council gathering place. During WW II shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the reservation was built. Its mission was to protect the northern entrance of the Canal from possible naval attack. The site has remnants of two Panama mounts (circular mounts) for 155mm guns. The trail is mostly flat and wide. We will have views of Cape Cod Bay at the top of the hill. We will finish with a 1.5 mile walk along the Cape Cod Canal. One never knows what we will encounter in the Canal--always wind! Please bring water and wear appropriate footwear. Take tick and poison ivy precautions. If you are interested in borrowing hiking poles, please let the leader know ahead of time to make arrangements. Please check the website the day of the hike for last minute cancellations, most often due to weather.
