Amber's Cache series now continues to Carvalho Farm where her favorite part of the whole hike was the swing and land bridges at Indian Rock. You will be looking for a small Camo'd container. Beware of the snapping turtle that guards the trail lol. If you are in need of a trail map there is one in the photo section of the cache. The address for the trail head is 201 Shaw Road Fairhaven or the coordinates are 41.642162, -70.850187 .
Carvalho Farm’s flat, easy-to-navigate Indian Rock Trail is just under a mile long, providing an invigorating walk that hikers of all levels can take on. Beginning on the south side of Shaw Road, the trail first passes through the tall grasses of an old farm field. After about a quarter-mile, the trail enters the woods. After entering the trees you’ll soon find yourself passing a winding forest stream, and will cross over a series of bog boards that bridge rich freshwater wetlands. Though these boards elevate you above the wettest parts of the marsh, we recommend wearing shoes you don’t mind getting dirty, as this trail can be muddy in places. After about half a mile, you’ll see your surroundings change as you pass through scrubby coastal pine trees and a marsh full of tall, waving grasses. The trail ends with a small loop around Indian Rock, where you can view the salt marshes on both sides of the clearing.
