About this Location

Nissitissit Meadows is 63 acres of town-owned conservation land boasting rolling agricultural fields, ponds, forested wetlands, floodplains, and Nissitissit River frontage. It’s a pleasant 0.75-mile walk around the hayfield to the left of the swale, along the long wetlands that protect its southern and western edges, and back to the parking area. A wooded trail adds another 0.5 miles into the woods on the right of the pond. Nissitissit Meadows also abuts Massachusetts Fisheries and Wildlife land and connecting trails. Birdhouses in the swale in the center of the meadow and the wetlands around the exterior of the field make Nissitissit Meadows a wonderful spot for watching bluebirds and sparrows. There are also bobolinks, eastern meadowlarks, and hawks.

From Town Hall take Park Street to Prescott Street, follow Prescott across Brookline Street, (or follow Brookline Street away from Hollis Street for 1.2 miles and turn right onto Prescott Street), and go for 0.3 miles to the parking lot for Nissitissit Meadows on the left.
