Jutting out at a bend in the Little River where it joins the Annisquam River, this jewel provides a beautiful entry to Gloucester along busy MA-128. A popular birding and fishing spot; look for shorebirds on the mud flats at low tide. The Little River supports a herring run in late April to early May. Predators such as gulls and river otter that feed on these fish can be seen at this time. Look for coyote, skunk and white-tailed deer tracks near the streambed.
