Beaver Brook Association

😐 Let’s not replace all of the bridges with poured concrete, please. I liked this area when it looked like a part of nature, now it’s an eyesore on the trail.

Summer Star Wildlife Sanctuary

Nature preserve

👍👍 A pleasant 1.4 mile trail leaves and returns from the Summer Star Sanctuary which is worth a visit especially when the visitors center is open. The visitors center is an exceptional, LEED gold certified building with displays inside. It's free to visit. The path goes through varied terrain through a...

Rocky Woods

👍👍 Part of the Trustees of Reservation parks network, so if you are a member, parking is free at the kiosk, $6 otherwise and well worth it! Great area for kids, trails for different levels and dogs are allowed. Campground is open during season, place is clean and well kept, I come here often!

Mass Audubon's Habitat Education Center and Wildlife Sanctuary

Nature preserve

👍 A nice nature habitat right outside of Boston. The trails were easy to walk, especially if you have toddlers or babies. The trails were well marked and easy to follow, not much in the way of birds in mid February, but the kids and I saw three deer on the property. The goats were in the barn till spr...

Mass Audubon's Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary

Nature preserve

👍👍 Lovely hiking trail around ponds, marsh and stream. No fee for the trail. There's a small museum but we didn't venture in. It was a wonderful easy walk in the crisp fall air. The Colors were still beautiful

Trustees of Reservations

Nature preserve

👍👍 I went to World's End today, 7/25/23. Not only did I have a wonderful hike, but the woman who was doing check-ins at the gate was absolutely wonderful. I am so sorry I didn't get her name because she was great. Very engaging and knowledgeable. I hope that you can find out who it was, and...

Stony Brook Conservation Land

Nature preserve

👍👍 Such a great place for hiking. Paths around Bruges Pond are a bit rooty but beautiful. And at 7 am there are a few people but most of the walk you're on your own and can enjoy the birds, the frogs and the silence. Plenty of parking, and most hikers are wearing masks. Dogs welcome on leash, with two...

James L. Goodwin State Forest

State park

👍👍 Went here for part of the Sky's the Limit 2022 challenge. It was a quick 1/2 mile walk. We went through the Garden area first and then along the Discovery trail and looped back around to the parking lot. The garden was pretty and everything was labeled and there were 2 little ponds in the garden are...

Wildlands Trust - Willowbrook Farm Preserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 Great place for a walk. The whole loop will take you about an hour, give or take, and clock in at about 3 miles. Get there early to see tons of deer. Keep your dogs on a leash if you bring them, no one wants your dog running up on them.

Audubon Society of Rhode Island Nature Center and Aquarium

Park

👍👍 Update Summer 2023 - still a great place to spend several hours and don't forget to walk to the end of the boardwalk to see the bay and the Osprey nests! This is a multifaceted nature center where you can spend an entire day, or just take time for a beautiful walk down to the bay. The Nature center...

4.80 (72 reviews) (~99.04 km from centre)

Skug River Reservation

Nature preserve

👍 Plenty of trail options to do an out-and-back, or short loop, or get lost for the couple hours. Terrain is primarily flat and encircles bear pond, with some inclines if you go off trail to explore local features or several of the geocaches. A nice change up from my favorites in town
