Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary

Reviewed By mvgirl41

I was staying in Hyannis for business, and found Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary for a much needed late afternoon walk to unwind. With well marked trails that highlight a mix of salt marsh, woods, and pasture, this was a beautiful spot to spend an hour in nature after a day indoors. I recommend it.
