Lots of trail to walk or mountain bike with nice pond views & a couple of look out spots.
Great little hiking trail. 3 mi loop, great for exercise.v
A mixture of woods, bog, and pond. Beautiful scenery.
The pond loop is a great walk! Almost 3 miles. Beautiful scenery. Well maintained trails overlooking the pond. Plenty of hills to give you a good workout.
Trails not well marked, lots of tree roots on trail, no benches to sit on the 3 mile loop around the pond, dogs were not on leashes, very buggy, bring spray.
Popular place, busy. Could hear lots of birds. Beautiful. Fyi. Nobody wearing face coverings or distancing.
Nice trails, quiet and peaceful. Went there for spring bird watching with Elyse. Have experience biking there as well. Trails are beginner/intermediate, Sandy to packed dirt. Dries fast.
Beautiful trails and a different sort of forest than you'd see near Boston: more pine trees and sandier soil. But the site is not well-marked. There is no Audubon sign near the road. Also, as one may expect with a marsh, quite buggy.
Beautiful trails, but some of the side paths had quite a bit of overhanging underbrush. Keep an eye out for ticks!
The trails were not well marked. We got lost - came out on s gold trail from Mayflower Street, went around the pond and bog and then back. Couldn’t find the original trail going back and finally ended up on the red trail. I called 911 to get help and they guided us get out of the park. Kind of scary.
