 Muddy Creek
This wonderful estuary serves as a natural border between the towns of Chatham and
Harwich. The Chatham side has been heavily developed, but fortunately the developers
wished to preserve the water’s edge. From 1963-1995 26 acres in 8 parcels along the
river were gifted to or purchased by the Foundation and 38 acres were placed under a
deeded Conservation Restriction held by the Foundation. The Foundation also received a
gift of beach front at the mouth of Muddy Creek on Pleasant Bay. (No access)
There is a public beach on Pleaasant Bay to the north. In 2003 the Harwich Conservation
Trust was able to purchase over 43 acres on the north side of Muddy Creek . CCF for the
first time made a significant contribution to another organization’s effort to
conserve land in the spirit of ignoring political boundaries when it comes to land
conservation.
