Good for kids
Saw a Fisher (aka Fisher Cat) In the Brookside Conservation Area across the Bread and Cheese Brook from us this afternoon (Sept 15, 2020) just before dusk. There was some animal making a fuss in the heavy foliage surrounding a tree stump across the brook; struck me as something bigger than a squirrel, so I waited to see what would make an appearance. When it emerged, it looked like a small dark gray emaciated fox, but smaller than a fox. I knew it wasn't a muskrat (with which I am familiar) so the word that popped into my mind was "weasel" and in fact the Fisher is related to weasels. The sighting was only a few seconds: it saw me and was off like a flash. Very exciting to see this sort of wild mammal in Southeastern Massachusetts.

I hike many of the local trails and unfortunately, this one isn't that great. Highly rooted trail and many rocks, this was a short (relatively unpleasant) walk. There are other better options a short distance away.
Definitely some shady activity at this park, specifically the parking lot. I sit in the parking lot for lunch sometimes, and more often then not I notice 2 car meetings that never enter the park and only stay for about 5-10 mins, amongst other weird happenings. Don't bring your kids here.
Very short out-and-back hike. Creek is lovely.
Peaceful place for a walk
Great place to chill
Access to the Westport river
Beautiful walk love this place.
