Common questions

What is the Wilder Dike/Dyke this park is named for?
It's a 19th-century agricultural dike and, later, a 1869 road culvert under Truro Center Road that blocked most tidal flow into the upper Pamet River for over 150 years, slowly turning that stretch from salt to fresh water. The Pamet River Restoration Project, backed by the town and Friends of Pamet River, is working to reopen that flow.
Is there an entry fee at Wilder Dyke Park?
No, entry is free.
