In consideration of personal and group safety, if you arrive without water, you will not be allowed to walk. Take precautions against the sun, such as sunscreen and a hat. Use repellent to protect yourself from ticks, which are active year round. Wear blaze orange for safety during hunting season.

Directions: The Flax Pond Conservation Area is in DENNIS (do not go to Flax Pond in Yarmouth), located on Setucket Road just over the Yarmouth/Dennis line, between Mayfair Rd. and Alexander Dr.
Approaching from the Yarmouth side, the parking lot will be on your left shortly after you pass Mayfair.
Approaching from the Dennis side, after you pass Alexander, look for the yellow road side and the parking will be right after it on your right.
Please park efficiently, as it is a small lot.
Our first Mid-Cape walk posted to the website! 👏👏
Just checking do I need to buy a ticket?
Hi Michelle, thank you for reaching out. You do *not* need to buy a ticket. I see that you have signed up so as long as you meet the prerequisites of the walk (found in the walk description), you’re all set.
Test only
Hi Debbie – I can sweep if you still have a need.
Hi Suzanne, thank you for offering, that would be fantastic!
Hi Debbie, I think I’m signed up. It’s a little confusing but what software isn’t at first.
Hi Lorraine, I can confirm that you are signed up. Thank you!
I need to cancel. Is this the way to manage a cancel so others can attend?
Hi Michelle, I have deleted your name from this walk. There is a way for you to do so but at this time I’m in training at work so will get that information to you. Thank you!
Hi, I didn’t see this at first but clicked on “more walks” on the calendar and it popped up. Does this mean it’s full?
Hi Kathy! Glad you figured this out. If you are able to click on the TICKET button and it brings you to a sign up page, then the walk has space. Hope this helps.
I’m so sorry. I can finally go on walks again and I now have a sick dog at home. Taking her in this morning. I apologize for the last-mintue cancellation.
Damn, cancelled wrong one. Signed up for this one again. Sorry!
No worries! I have a senior dog so I know how it goes. Hope you pup is feeling better.
Hi All,
I’m sorry but I have to cancel this walk. Despite my best efforts (getting up early, medication, hot tea) my allergies have gotten the best of me.
You should have received cancellation emails as well.
I will reschedule this walk in the coming weeks.
Thank you.
Debbie
