Here's what I planned vs what I did. Success!


After hiking at Ward Reservation a few days ago, I really wanted to get back and explore more trails. Honestly, I was just *really* curious about what is marked on the map as "RUBBISH MEADOW"!! It turned out to be a really pretty... lake? pond? swamp? ... body of water (as you can see in the above satellite photo & below in my hike pictures). Based on this hike and the hike I did earlier in the week, I've determined what I think is an ideal hike for this reservation -- if I could only go once, this is what I would do:


Summary:

• Parking fee: $5 (or TTOR annual membership)
• Dog friendly
• Trails are very easy to follow

Ran into some hikers with a really cute dog. This made me very happy. Clearly.

Most of the signs were clear. Some need to be replaced, but as you can see, the color coding on the maps is obvious on the trees.
