Description

"Owned and managed by the Town of Yarmouth, Spear Farm Estuary Preserve is a scenic 55-acre property with diverse habitats, ranging from stately oaks and pine forest to the open salt marshes of the Royal River estuary, and a small freshwater pond with a fringing marsh. The preserve includes 1.6 miles of gentle, well-maintained trails over rolling, coastal terrain perfect for foot or ski travel and ideal for bird watching. There is an excellent picnic spot and overlook on the pond’s northern shore, as well as on the edge of the salt marsh. In the winter the pond offers great skating opportunities, with attention to safety. Conservation Easements held by the Royal River Conservation Trust protect the property."

We have visited this estuary in all seasons. It's so beautiful in the winter, but I have to say, I especially love it in the autumn. The gentle autumn foliage envelops me like a warm blanket while walking along the path and along the Royal River! We are so blessed to have this preserved land to enjoy with our children and our dogs! The last of the sailboats are coming up the Royal River to be brought on the hard, while one motor boat is obviously not quite ready to call it for the boating season. I hope he enjoyed his last hurrah aboard his boat for the 2020 season!
