The Pirate Legend Trek and Trail are popular Scout hiking areas combining
flat terrain and gentle rolling hills. Appealing features include the swampy areas that abut the trails, the rocky
outcrops that afford distant views of the Boston Skyline and the
Atlantic Ocean, the large number of big rock and bolder formations
to climb on, over, around and between, and several small streams
that are crossed on log bridges. |
