R O U G H M E A D OW S W I L D L I F E S A N C T UA RY, ROWLEY This 265-acre property, co-managed by Essex County Greenbelt and Mass Audubon, is part of the 20,000-acre Great Marsh ecosystem and is filled with wildlife, like shore birds, waterfowl, heron, and egrets. Hike one of the five well-marked, family-friendly trails to see views of the marsh, natural salt pannes, and woods filled with hickory, oak and sassafras. A mile-long hike from the parking area will take you to Sawyer's Island (where you can see an active osprey nesting platform). From there, launch a canoe or kayak to paddle into Mud Creek and other nearby tidal creeks. 5 . M I S E RY I S L A N D S , SALEM Don't let the moody names fool you: Misery Islands—a pair of islands in Salem Harbor, managed by The Trustees—make for a very happy escape. Take your boat to the 83-acre Great Misery Island to find more than two miles of trails that wind through forest, aspen groves, and an open meadow, past the ruins of an old resort, and all along the rocky shoreline. Wait until low tide and take off your shoes to wade across a shallow channel to Little Misery Island next door. From there, you can see the ruins of a steamship called the City of Rockland, which ran aground in the 1920s. Misery Islands are located in Salem Harbor and run by The Trustees. PHOTOGRAPH BY R.
