View on Interactive MapOur 70-acre Burchell Farm property runs along the northern half of Miacomet Pond. Its location allows it to serve as a gateway from the Miacomet Ave and Mizzenmast neighborhoods through to Smooth Hummocks.
Burchell Farm showcases the ecological gradient that is present along the south shore of Nantucket, where the beach transitions from dune to sandplain grassland, and finally to forest as you move away from the ocean. The property is dominated by pitch pine forest, with a grassy understory. The 2.3 miles of single-track trail runs mostly north to south along Miacomet Pond. Its proximity to this water source makes it a great birding spot!
