In 2018, a 3-year Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) Recreational Trails Program grant was awarded to what is now known as 'The Indian Head River Trail Alliance' to expand and improve the Indian Head River trail system. This alliance is composed of Wildlands Trust, The North South River Watershed Association, Town of Hanover, Town of Hanson, Town of Pembroke, and Plymouth County.
Following completion of this work in late 2021, the area now has over six and a half continuous miles of trail, connecting 325 acres of conservation land along the Indian Head and North rivers. The neighboring trail systems of Wildlands Trust’s Tucker Preserve, Hanover’s Chapmans Landing - Iron Mine Brook, and the Mattakeeset Trail are now linked with the Indian Head River Trail, offering one complete loop of these conservation properties.

Burrage Pond Wildlife Management Area
This area was once known as the Great Cedar Swamp until lumber, industrial, and agricultural endeavors transformed the landscape to what we see today. After all of the cedar trees had been harvested, Albert C. Burrage purchased sections of this area in the early 1900’s and built a large factory on a 40 acre site at what is now the corner of Pleasant and Hawkes Ave. This industrial complex consisted of 4 factory buildings, offices, workers homes as well as a small hotel. After a large fire in 1919, the factory was closed and next came large scale cranberry farming which continued till 2002 when the property (1600+ acres) was purchased by the Mass Division of Fisheries and Wildlife.![Burrage Pond Wildlife Management Area.
