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


I had read that the Bog Trail was not to be missed. It's just .3 miles long, so I was a little skeptical. But... IT'S NOT TO BE MISSED. Admittedly, I'm *pretty* into boardwalk trails and generally think they're magical. But this one is extra great -- it's my second favorite (behind the one found at Ponkapoag Pond). My friend agreed. It's not just me. The other trails were beautiful and fun as well, but that's definitely the gem of this reservation. The trails are clearly marked with colors (yellow, blue, and red). There are maps available at the entrance to take with you while hiking. There are also a number of maps at various points along the trails showing where you are.

Summary:

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

Oasis at the end of the boardwalk!

We think this is Elephant Rock? It's pretty small. 

How do the solstice stones work? We weren't sure.
