Site Description:

Scorton Harbor, located in Sandwich, is part of a subwatershed covering 6,916 acres. Carver Creek, Long Creek, and Scorton Creek join together to flow into Scorton Harbor, which opens to Cape Cod Bay. Scorton Creek forms the northern border of Game Farm. Although originally used to raise wildfowl and fish for sportsmen, this area is currently being managed by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife and Thornton W. Burgess Society. Restoration and protection of the salt marsh habitat on Scorton Creek are key concerns for this area.
