A 336-acre Land Bank reservation straddling the Chilmark/Aquinnah line, split into a north and south hold around Squibnocket Pond. The south hold's trail runs nearly half a mile to a remote ocean beach, with pond and ocean overlooks and a footbridge over Black Brook; a kayak landing and loaner kayaks are planned but reservation-based parking is limited in season.
