Triphammer Pond Conservation Area consists of 98 acres and was acquired by Hingham in 1945. Although not well documented on maps, Triphammer is connected to the Wompatuck State Park trail network. The 19 acre pond provides for a wonderfully quiet moment exploring the historic mill and looking for wildlife.
The Triphammer Pond trails provide access to many recreational activities. The trails enable visitors to hike along narrow wooded trails and enjoy views of the pond or fish. Kayaking and canoeing are also permitted. In the winter months, ice skating is also permitted however visitors should be careful to test the ice. A reconstructed old mill dam, fish ladder, spillway, sluiceway, a stone well and remnants of other historic mill features are also found at this location.
Access to Triphammer Pond is best obtained off of Popes Lane. A long dirt road provides access to an undeveloped parking lot and a portage area. It is relatively easy to put in kayaks to further explore the pond.
TRAILS
About a mile - but perhaps feels like more since you can wander a bit around the old Mill area
Trails are relatively well maintained but not consistently accessible to strollers or people unsteady on their feet. People will limited mobility or strollers can easily walk from the parking area up to the dam and perhaps a little bit further.
