We are so lucky to have a wonderful State Park just up the street from the Captain Freeman Inn. Nickerson State Park is a 1,900-acre state park with sandy soil and scrub pines surrounding many kettle ponds.
Harrison was very excited when we entered the park as he knew a nice long walk was fast approaching.

We love to go to the far end of the park and walk around Higgins pond.

The walk around the lake is always pristine, quiet and magical.

Views of the kettle pond with a wonderful walk trail around the lake.

It’s always fun when walking after a snow storm to see that you are the first to walk the trail…

Harrison went for a nice swim….

The sun was casting beautiful reflections on the lake.

As we were ending our hike my eye caught sight of a new little pine seedling…..new growth with spring in site….

i just heard on the radio that the first day of spring is 6 weeks away…..that’s great…. but winter in Brewster, Cape Cod is really special!
