Ellisville Harbor State Park
About
Ellisville Harbor State Park is a 99-acre state park in Massachusetts, about 4 miles from the town of Sagamore. It is a compact park, and its small footprint makes it an easy stop to fit into a day of exploring the surrounding area. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in E Wareham show July highs around 81°F and September highs near 73°F, with fewer wet days than the rest of the year. The Plymouth Wishbone Trail starts just 0.3 miles away, making it the natural pairing for a visit. A little farther out, the Pine Barrens Path and Charge Pond Loop are both within about 7 miles, and the South Shore, Cape, and Islands climbing area is roughly 6 miles away.
