SUMMARY:Friends of Pine Hawk: Hockomock Swamp Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:“Hockomock” in Algonquin means “land where spirits dwell” and is a revered Wampanoag sacred site\, and later a “Devil’s Swamp” for English settlers. Join Dan Boudillion and Bettina Abe for a 2-mile hike at Hockomock Swamp\, a Massachusetts Wildlife Management Area in Raynham\, Mass. \nThere is much lore surrounding the history of Hockomock Swamp\, beginning in the 1600s. The area is the largest freshwater swamp in the state and is known for sightings of floating orbs of light\, ghostly voices\, and phantom drums linked to its past as an ancient burial ground and a natural fortress during King Phillip’s War. \nWe will walk the trail\, while Dan shares the many stories and lore he has collected over the years. We will meet in Acton and carpool down Route 495 for approximately one hour drive to “the Bridgewater Triangle.” \nFriends of Pine Hawk events are free but this walk requires registration at https://tinyurl.com/2025-Pinehawk
