Breakheart Reservation – Josh S

Yes, an actual hike. But before you go dropping dollars at outdoorsy stores on equipment you'll never touch again, explore these easily accessible paths, parks, and preserves that cater to all skill levels. Now go outside!

Blue Hills Reservation 95 reviews 695 Hillside St, Milton, MA Parks “This is a little gem right outside of the city. If you want to get away from the city and want to do something healthy and fun, you should check this place out... They also have a food stand near the lake, if you want to get food before the hike.” Mary T., Boston, MA

Quincy Quarries Reservation 15 reviews 77 Ricciuti Dr, Quincy, MA Parks “The quarry walls were covered in beautiful graffiti art, and the field before us was just asking to be ran through... There were also some rock climbers at the top of one of the walls getting ready to start their climbing for the day. So cool!” Lauren K., Quincy, MA

Breakheart Reservation 56 reviews 177 Forest St, Saugus, MA Parks “Nice place to come for a walk. They have a little beach and two playgrounds. It's very dog-friendly. The visitors center is nice, and it has a seating area, a fireplace, maps, bathrooms, and coffee and hot cocoa. It's a very pretty place to go.” Mary I., Stoneham, MA

Noanet Woodlands 31 reviews Dedham St, Dover, MA Parks, Hiking “Super nice trails, really great place. Was doing some research and looking into various trails in the area and came across Noanet. Never heard of it before, and now I wonder why?! So nice and so close. Super clean, and very easy to navigate trails.” Emily S., Norwood, MA

Middlesex Fells Reservation 98 reviews S Border Rd, Medford, MA Parks “This place is beautiful. If you want to spend time with Mother Nature, I don't know a better place than this reservation. It is really breathtaking, even the woody areas... so just venture out there whenever you're free.” Joyce L., Boston, MA
