You can hike to the Cranberry Bog House on the Pamet Cranberry Bog Trail in Truro. It’s a beautiful hike and it’s fun to see the old bog house. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

“The historic Cranberry Bog House Truro is a remnant of a once-thriving commercial cranberry bog operated by the Pamet Cranberry Company in Truro from the late 19th century until the 1950s. Originally built around 1830, the Bog House was moved and raised in 1880 to serve as a two-story preparation and living space for workers during harvest season.

The lower level was for preparing cranberries for shipment, while the upper floor provided living quarters, often for migrant workers, including many from Cape Verde. The bog was flooded and drained seasonally, and while the bogs have since returned to a natural state, the house remains a testament to this history. “

Interesting tidbit: If you look closely, you can see the front door is on the 2nd level!

It was a gorgeous, sunny day to hike the Pamet Cranberry Bog Trail. The hike is so diverse and the views are stunning. (Click on blog link other photos.)

One part of the trail takes you out to the beach where you can climb this beautiful sand dune. It was so much fun!

And then hiking back to another cut-off on the trail was just stunning in itself. Have you ever hiked this gorgeous trail?

There are so many different variations of the trail that you can take from the overlook of Ballston Beach to the Cranberry Bog itself to the huge dunes at the end of the trail.

As you can see by the photos, I love climbing the huge dune at the end!

We decided to hike the Pamet Cranberry Bog Trail on January 1st as our “First Day Hike of 2023.” (Click on blog link for other photo.)

It was a gorgeous, sunny day with temps in the 50s. It felt more like April than January. So we ventured out to Truro to hike one of our favorite hikes. The views are beautiful as is the trail, but my favorite part is the dunes at the end of the trail.

You have to hike way up the dune and then way down on the other side to get to the ocean. I haven’t been there in a while but it seems like the hike down the other side was much steeper than I remember.  Maybe a little beach erosion on that side? There is also a very long tidal pool that stretches down the beach.

Always a beautiful hike and always something new to discover!
