Where to See Breathtaking Nature on Your Massachusetts Getaway

The Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank was created in response to the population growth and the development that came with that. This cause focuses on preserving land and everything that makes Martha’s Vineyard special. Some of these protected areas are only a short bike ride away from our Edgartown hotel.

  • Felix Neck Preserve has served as a premier environmental education center for years. The 25-acre space is excellent for hiking, horseback riding, picnicking, and more. 
  • Park on the right at Edgartown’s Jernegan’s Pond to visit Sweetened Water. The 11.4-acre preserve was once land used as a dairy farm. Today it’s a spot to go bicycling, cross-country skiing, or hiking with your dog.
  • At over 25 acres, there is plenty of nature to take in at Ben Toms. You can access this preserve by walking up the bicycle path that connects the area to the Sweetened Water Preserve. Enjoy nature studying, horseback riding, and more.

Other incredible spots are only a short ferry ride away on Chappaquiddick Island to explore other trust properties. To visit Tom’s Neck Preserve, park near the Mytoi garden and follow the signs. Some of the activities you can partake in include taking in scenic views, hunting, bicycling, and picnicking.
