Katama Delight of Martha's Vineyard
The beautiful and natural gifts of Martha's Vineyard.
From walks along sandy or rocky shorelines, to wooded paths, to trails with commanding ocean views - paths through wet lands, meadows, and grasses - our beautiful island has acre upon acre of preserved land and shore. Immerse yourself in nature - whether a leisurely stroll or a moderately difficult hike - the natural scenic beauty, flora and fauna, and history of the island are extraordinary.
Several trail guides and maps are available at our home.
Here are scenes, and online information about, a few of our favorite walks:

Waskosims Rock Preserve, Chilmark
A moderate trail through woodlands, meadows, stone walls, and wetlands - and a boulder atop a hill which has historical significance as a boundary marker separating the lands of the English settlers and Native American Wampanoag lands in the 1600s.
