Reservation: dawn to dusk. Museum: Wed-Sun and Mon holidays 10am-5pm.
Only 10 miles south of Boston, you can take in the beauty of this 7,000-acre reservation with its enormous granite monad nocks climbing more than 635 feet. Families can take advantage of 150 miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding paths. In winter months, the trails are ideal for cross-country skiing.
Kids will enjoy hiking up the trails that lead to the Great Blue Hill Overlook. Be sure to pack a camera and take advantage of its panoramic view. For those with young children stick to the flatter terrain trails. The reservation's two ponds, the Houghton Pond for great swimming and fishing, and the Ponkapoag Pond for boating, are both part of this unique land just a short distance from the skyscrapers of Boston.
Children will also enjoy learning the natural history of these hills at The Trailside Museum, run by the Massachusetts Audubon Society. Among the exhibits are native animals to the area and a Native American wigwam, and a hands-on crawl-through log.
