A small parcel on Truro Center Road named for the historic Wilder Dike, a 19th-century agricultural structure whose 1869 culvert once cut the upper Pamet River off from the tide; the town is now working to reverse that and restore tidal flow. Beyond the name and location, no public facilities here could be confirmed.
What to expect
Dogs
Truro dogs must be leashed or under visual control April 1 through August 31; the rest of the year voice control is enough. That's the town-wide default; watch for posted signs here.

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.
Can I bring my dog to Wilder Dyke Park?
