"By 4 or 5, I would go to the Kettle Ponds. They’re all over Truro and Wellfleet. These ponds were formed by glaciers 10,000 years ago and are a peaceful retreat from the hot, busy beaches. My favorite time to go is for a quick dip after the beach, when it’s very quiet and meditative."

Excellent trails and beautiful views. Trout fishing was spectacular.

Pretty, like all the kettle ponds on the outer Cape. The highlight, if you bring a boat or the determination to walk all the way around, is the narrow channel connecting Gull Pond to Higgins Pond all the way across from the beach. There is also a small beach at the intersection (called the Sluiceway), though driving to it directly requires maneuvering some rough, thin dirt roads.

This was a childhood home (the ranger house on Aunt Sally’s), temporarily, during the early 70’s. The pond was a beautiful retreat. My mother would row us across the pond to take swimming lessons on cool summer mornings. So many good memories. One day I would love to return.

I took swimming lessons here years ago. I actually swam from gull pond to "the Sluice" with my dad in a paddle boat beside me.
