This land is squarely in the drawdown zone for the town well at the Upper Lagoon Pond and is known as a property of springs. None flow atop the land itself — they instead surface on the adjacent water district property via a stream known as the Stepping Stones Brook. The preserve's trail terminates atop an irregular promontory with a view of the pond. 

The property name is in honor of the Wampanoag name for land at the head of the Lagoon Pond.  Archaeological evidence suggests that Wampanoags occupied this site for a long time and that the villagers depended on shellfish rather than agriculture. Park at the trailhead at the Featherstone Farm and follow signs.
