Open dawn to dusk, Pegan Cove Park is owned by the Mass. Dept. of Environmental Management (within Cochituate State Park), and is managed jointly by the Natick Conservation Commission and the Natick Recreation and Parks Commission under a special, 25-year lease. Although its Washington Avenue entrance and parking area are only four blocks NW from the center of Natick, this park's 22 acres include extensive shoreline on the South Pond of Lake Cochituate, woods and fields, Pegan Brook and its associated wetlands, and the remains of the 1893 Pegan Brook Filter Beds which once kept Natick's urban run-off from entering Boston's first public water supply. The Boston-Albany main railroad line runs along the southern edge of this area; a future pedestrian bridge could connect to Route 135 and additional vehicle parking.

To enjoy this site in the winter, bring your snowshoes or cross-country skis. Stroll along the edge of Indian Brook, which flows into the Charles River at the sanctuary, and look for wood ducks and signs of beavers and otters from the 110-foot-long bridge.
