The Quansett Trail system offers visitors the opportunity to observe, interact with, and learn about the great diversity of habitats in the sanctuary. Visitors have many options to choose from including two western loops: one around a fresh pond, the other with a giant boulder to climb for treetop views. Two smaller loops provide east and west overlooks of the pond.

Spanning hundreds of acres of protected beach, fields, woodlands, ponds, and marsh, Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary was created by generous families who opted to conserve their land. Extensive trail systems offer ocean and pond views from many vantage points and afford visitors a full day of walking and birding.

• Three trailheads to begin an adventure: one on Allens Neck Road, one at 786 E. Horseneck Road, and one at the Field Station on Horseneck Road.
• More than 300 species of birds have been recorded here, including piping plovers, which nest on the 1.5-mile stretch of coastal beach.
• An agricultural landscape of wide-open fields crisscrossed by stone walls and maintained through partnerships with local farmers.
• Rare butterflies in the butterfly garden and the sounds of chorusing toads and frogs in the vernal pools.
• Seasonal programs and year-round volunteer and citizen science projects are conducted at the historic 1860s-era Stone Barn.
