Salt Winds Trail Opens in Fairhaven

The recently opened Salt Winds Trail at the Coalition’s nine-acre Salt Winds Farm in Fairhaven offers visitors a short but scenic 0.3-mile walk through diverse landscapes. Starting in an open grass field, the trail passes through a section of maritime forest, a salt marsh, and ends at the beach.

Visitors can enjoy the wildflowers scattered across the field and the beautiful stone walls that line the property. Keep an eye out for a pair of Great Horned Owls, often spotted in the woods. The salt marsh provides a glimpse into one of the area’s vital coastal ecosystems before the trail leads to the beach which provides open views across the Bay to the west.
