Anyone in the South Shore of MA who likes hikes

Obviously here in Massachusetts' South Shore, there isn't rugged mountains to hike like there is back out West in the Rockies, but there are still some pretty nice areas to explore. One of them, right here in Hanson & Halifax, is Burrage Pond Wildlife Management Area. These 1,625 acres of public land isn't just the old Bog 18 (formally the biggest bog in the world) but its history dates back to the Native Americans that used to travel those lands. Now adays, the land has been used for Cranberry farming for many many years, but now you can hike in the diverse 1,625 acres of land. At one point you'll see working bogs, then venture in to sand pits, then come across a pond, and then a forest and then into a swamp!

Here's some pictures from my countless treks:
