The Marshview Trail at the East Sandwich Game Farm in Sandwich, Massachusetts is an easy 0.9-mile loop hike that features views of Scorton Creek and marshes.

Hike Description
This hike begins at the main parking lot located at the dead-end road for the East Sandwich Game Farm at the coordinates provided and heads in along the main trail, stopping first at the Scorton Creek view at the trailhead.

The trail will head south before reaching a kiosk with a trail map. From here, hikers will head east to stay along the Marshview Trail as it twists and winds its way out to the shores of Scorton Creek once more. Once along the creek, the trail will follow the edge of the marshland for quite a while before it heads back into the woods. Along the way, hikes get nice views of Scorton Creek, Mill Creek, and the surrounding marshes. Once back in the woods, it's a confusing free-for-all on where you want to hike, but hikers can easily meander around the woods before reaching the main entrance trail once again. Once back on the entrance trail, hikers will head north to reach the parking lot.

Parking
Hikers will find a medium-sized parking lot at the coordinates provided, located at the end of a dead-end dirt road.

Pets
Dogs are allowed only if leashed and if cleaned up after.

Warning
Hunting: Hunting is permitted here. Please be aware of the season and wear blaze orange when applicable.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
