We love this park. There are some nice short loops for a quick hike with the kids. Not a lot of hills so it is easy going for them. Great nature trails with information on local flora. The boardwalk is awesome. Often plenty of birds, turtles, and other animal life to enjoy. Great blend of woods and marshland. Fun butterfly garden and scout made playground of logs.

Hands down, the best trail we have experienced so far! I especially love all double paths- one with stairs, one for wheelchair/stroller visitors. We will definitely be going again and again. Great for my 4 year old, as well!

Fun trail, good walk, beautiful to go in the fall. The day I went the admission was free (I dont know if thats always the case) but that was definitely a bonus. Nice place to go especially if youre into bird watching.

Took my 4-year-old and he (and I) loved it. And we only did half of the trails.Lots of cool features here. A gorgeous pond, boardwalks, waterfalls, a brook, and little off-trail spots carved out for exploring.Perfect place for a warm (even hot) day, as theres a perfect mix of sunny and shady walks.

Incredibly beautiful!!! Easy trail for all ages and many breathtaking views around the pond. Benches carefully placed so you can soak up the sun and take in the fresh air as you navigate the trail. Cant wait to come back in the spring and summer months when the pond really comes to life. Enjoy!

Even on a cold windy day we had a fun family walkabout. 2-yr old grandson got to run around, we adults got to enjoy the scenery & look for wildlife (all hiding, keeping warm). Better to go in warmer weather, but simple fun any time.

What a wonderful natural sanctuary filled with all that nature is doing on its own. The paths and observation areas are great for seeing nature as it unfolds each day. In particular, a good place for birding. I was impressed that this sanctuary is both handicapped accessible and blind accessible.

Great place for a walk in the woods and there is a boardwalk that goes into the pond to an island. You can see all the wildlife that is attracted to the wetlands areas. Great learning center at this facility also.

Expansive areas to wander, with all sorts of scenery to photograph, as well as bees and butterflies, with turtles in the water. Well worth the membership fee for access to the scenic trails and peaceful atmosphere -- plus you get access to all the Mass Audubon sites!
