Manomet Observatory

Manomet Observatory represents nearly 40 acres of eastern forest, coastal bluff, freshwater wetland and open grassland habitat. A living laboratory, to date over 300 species of bird, 500 species of insect and nearly 250 plant species have been documented on the property. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the Kathleen “Betty” Anderson Nature trail, which winds through a series of old farm fields and former cranberry bogs, now being managed to provide habitat for migratory birds, pollinators and other wildlife. Interpretive signs and a wildlife viewing blind along the trail offer information and a chance to observe wildlife up-close. The trail begins at our information kiosk and ends at a bluff overlooking Cape Cod Bay and the Garden for Wildlife, a formal garden showcasing native plantings that promote local biodiversity.

Trail is open dawn to dusk, seven days a week.
