Re/Framing the View: Nineteenth Century American Landscapes

Explore a local cranberry bog in Marion and take in the spectacular views of 23-acres of bogs surrounded by small ponds and upland forests. White Eagle supports a rich diversity of habitats including upland pine, mixed hardwood forest, shrub and wooded swamp, freshwater marsh and cranberry bogs. The White Eagle property and surrounding land make up a 482-acre contiguous parcel of land that is home to several rare and threatened species including the Easter Box Turtle, the Spotted Turtle and the Water-will Stem Borer (a type of moth). Part of the White Eagle property features a working 23-acre cranberry bog that has been continuously cultivated for over 100 years. Sippican Lands Trust acquired the 248-acre White Eagle property in 2005 in partnership with the Town of Marion and other local conservation organizations.

Trailhead is located off of Route 6 in Marion. Turn onto Parlowtown Road across from the town cemetery and follow the road until you reach the cul-de-sac. Veer left on the dirt road and follow past an abandoned cranberry bog on your right.

Parking is available directly past the cranberry bog and along the dirt roadside.
