Dedicated to the memory of Margaret Abbey Foy Moore, the Foy family has placed 67 acres of undeveloped land into the Coastal Land Trust. Enjoy a short walk up the sandy road or take a longer walk that crosses the dam through the woods along the outflow stream. Take pleasure in the wooden walkway built across the 10 acre pond that connects with walking trails on both sides. Experience the great outdoors through the forest while hiking, bird watching or just viewing the beautiful trees, plants, flowers and wildlife.
