Redbrook Trail Network
Connecting People and Nature in the Upper Weweantic Watershed
The Redbrook Trail Network offers over two miles of scenic trails winding through forest, wetland, and streamside habitats in the upper reaches of the Weweantic River watershed. Protected and maintained by the Wareham Land Trust, this area showcases the vital connection between land and water, and offers peaceful outdoor experiences just minutes from Wareham Center.
A Vital Watershed Landscape
The Redbrook corridor is part of a larger ecological system that helps protect the health of the Weweantic River, Wareham’s largest and most dynamic waterway. These lands support native wildlife, improve water quality, and absorb stormwater, playing a key role in regional climate resilience and ecosystem health.
The trails reveal a rich mosaic of habitats, from upland pine-oak forest to red maple swamp and fern-filled glades. Interpretive signs along the trail share insight into the area's local ecology and conservation efforts.
