The Josephine Newman Audubon Sanctuary is a 119-acre preserve that has about 2.5 miles of trails, which wind through diverse landscapes, including mature forests, meadows, and rocky coastline. The sanctuary is home to diverse ecosystems like salt marshes, a former beaver pond, a brook, and reversing tidal falls, providing visitors with opportunities to explore bluffs, ridges, and tidal mudflats along Robinhood Cove.
There are three primary trails through the sanctuary: the Geology Trail (0.6 miles, blue), which is the most challenging, this trail winds through coniferous woods and along Robinhood Cove. The Rocky End Trail (1.25 miles, red) that has beautiful views of marshes, mudflats, and the cove's rocky shore, and climbs to the highest point on the property. Finally, the Horseshoe Trail (0.75 miles, orange) is the easiest trail, it traverses the meadow and leads to an old cabin on a ledge, connecting with the Rocky End Trail. The trails are accessible year-round and are free to the public. You can also connect the hiking trails here to others in the Berry Woods Preserve.
