139 Monroe Street, Pembroke, MA 

Tubbs Meadow, a retired cranberry bog, presents up-close vistas of wetlands at different stages of new growth, encompassed by human-made ditches, and a pond. 

The main trail is a meandering loop around a cranberry bog system with a spur trail to each entrance. There are secondary trails that criss-cross the area within the main loop. Not all are marked well, so carrying a map is recommended.

There are two main entrances — one on Monroe Street, and another on Mill Street, plus there is pedestrian access from Kallio Path.
