We visited on a Sunday afternoon in mid-June 2025. The trail head doesn't have very many parking spots along the side of the road. We weren't sure if we could park down by the water where the boat launch was so we stuck closer to the trail head. There are pit toilets here and the trail forks. We decided to go right on the board walk and go around and tie it into the Fort Hill Trail. Both together isn't very long and at a leisurely stroll while taking photos as well it took us about 1 hr. There was also a small parking lot at the Fort Hill Trail Head and at the Fort Hill Overlook. The trail was relatively short and had a lot of different elements and changing scenery so it kept our ADHD youngest one entertained with out much complaints. Great for beginners. Overall we'd probably do this again if we were in the area. It was short and interesting. There are a lot of other trails we could do but this one was also close to the salt pond visitor center.

The parking for the red maple swamp trail is very limited. Be sure to go early. The Red Maple trail is located within the fort hill trail area. Most of the hike is on a Boardwalk so it is flat and easy to walk. The trail was maybe a little more than 1 mile and connects to other trails if you wanted a longer hike. The trail is beautiful. Definitely take your time and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Beautiful, mostly shaded, fully elevated and trex decked pathway makes a comfortable, short, and enjoyable walk. You can start at the boat launch side and do a full loop going from Red Maple Swamp Trail to the Penniman House to a trail behind the house that leads to the lookout and from there to Indian Rock (via Fort Hill Trail) and back to the start.

Reverend Treat would be proud of the way his ancient land is used as a sanctuary, living history and astonishing nature habitat. The park personnel are great guardians of one of Cape Cod's great touchstones. From a classic Red Maple swamp to fantastic vista's overlooking Nauset, the outer beach and Coast Guard Life Station, this park has it all. Fantastic walking trails, terrific swamp boardwalk and a restful gazebo. Yes, there is the mansion, restrooms...
