Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary is a wildlife sanctuary in Norfolk, Massachusetts. The 107-acre sanctuary, owned by the Massachusetts Audubon Society, is adjacent to the 140-acre Bristol Blake State Reservation.[1] The two areas are "cooperatively managed" by Mass Audubon and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR).[2]
A 1 mile (1.6 km) trail encircles Stony Brook Pond, ending by a waterfall at the site of a former mill. The trail is wheelchair accessible and includes a[3] 525-foot long boardwalk, installed in 2017,[4][5] that allows visitors to view birds, wildlife, and the wetland habitat over Teal Marsh and Kingfisher Pond.[4] Wildlife found there includes turtles, ducks, geese, great blue herons, and muskrats.[3] The sanctuary also has natural history exhibits, programming space, a gift shop, nature play area, a picnic area, and a butterfly garden.[3][4]
