👍 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...

👍👍 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...

👍 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

👍👍 This is the third time I have been on this Trail and I'm glad I came back. The first time I came was a short visit. I followed the trail to a chained off section and turned back and didn't see much. The second time I came I went to Becky's point then turned back. This time we completed the whole Tra...

Park
👍 This abuts my house so I go all the time, and am grateful for it. It's big enough to do about 45 minutes of walking without having to repeat a path. In spring or after a lot of rain there are a few water features, enough to let my dog cool down and get a drink if not swim. There are a few little hil...

👍👍 Great place to walk or ride. Lots of side trails. A couple of clean areas for dogs to get wet depending on the time of year. There are maps available at the parking. Parking if crowded can be a bit tight. The main road/trail goes over rt95 and is kinda good spot to photo shoot.
