Description
The Provincetown Corridor WMA consists of multiple linear parcels along both sides of Route 6 in Provincetown. This habitat is dominated by pitch pine mixed hardwood uplands as well as areas of shrub swamp and open dunes.
Location, access, & parking
There are no formal parking areas or access points. Some limited access may be gained by roadside pull-offs or by accessing the WMA through other protected lands which are part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. See WMA map.
Note: WMAs are intentionally wild, visitors will find natural landscapes rather than maintained trails.
Fishing opportunities
This WMA area contains a small portion of the far western shore of Pilgrim Lake and the eastern half of Duck Pond both of which contain warmwater fish.
Wildlife viewing & other features
Some wildlife viewing opportunities may exist for migratory birds, particularly in the dune areas and shrub swamps, however access is extremely limited.
