The main .25-mile trail of Hawley Cove Park leads through upland forest and down across a series of boardwalks over a large wetland containing some of the biggest skunk cabbage to be found on the Island. Visit in spring for an impressive display of blooming yellow fronds. The short, well-maintained trail ends at a wide sandy beach overlooking Eagle Harbor. This small 12-acre conservancy park’s easy hike and expanse of beach make for a good family outing with kids and a perfect picnic destination.
Trailhead: From Ferncliff, turn onto Wing Point Way. Go for about .3 mile and park along the right side of the road at the sign for Hawley Cove Park.
