At the far northern end of town is North Carver, or Cole
Mill, which is home to the Lakenham Historic District, one
of the first areas inhabited by settlers from Plymouth. The
neighborhood is mostly residential with a few commercial
and industrial properties. East Carver, also known as
Wenham, shares a border with Plymouth and is characterized
by great stretches of farmland as well as the cranberry bogs
that turn a lovely crimson during seasonal harvests. South
Carver also has farmland and bogs with a few residential
sections. Carver Center is where residents will find many of
the town’s businesses, including restaurants and shops. This
area is where most residents in town live.
In Carver, there are trails throughout the Myles
Standish State Forest, a large area that stretches
across Plymouth and Carver. There are also
bike paths, hunting sections, fishing ponds, and
equestrian trails.
