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

👍👍 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.

👍👍 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!

Mount Major State Forest

Nature preserve

👍👍 Took a hike on a Sunday afternoon with my 2 yr old dog, 6 yr old daughter, 10 yr old son, fiancé and myself- I am a smoker who walks approximately 3 miles daily. It took us about 5 hours, taking our time on the blue trail (straight up vs. Yellow trail which is longer due to winding around.) Blueber...

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

Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve

Saco Heath Preserve

Nature preserve

👍 Great place to walk its only one trail pretty much the whole way. It feels like a never ending boardwalk through a bog to an island where there is a short loop trail. The bog seemed to be all dried up for the most part during my visit. There was blueberries all over the bushes everywhere you looked.

👍👍 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...

It's definitely an amazing time! I went 3 times this week! And everytime was amazing! Saturday morning is the bu...

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...

👍 Quick stop, expected more. No trail to walk, contained to fenced area. Beautiful views for birdwatching on the 2nd floor. Small marine life tank as you enter in right.
