August 8, 2020Lots of great elevation but beware of the bugs!
August 8, 2020Nice trail, challenging initial assent and good views. Veered off to middle trails on the way back and they were a bit overgrown but rain into a deer
July 26, 2020Nice short hike with a cool view of Boston
July 16, 2020Definitely a great hike! Wouldn’t recommend biking it. Highly recommend frolicking all the way to the top! Idea... picnic
June 28, 2020Nice hike with great views. Dog friendly.
June 28, 2020June 27, 2020It’s a great trail. Steep uphills and downhills sometimes which is a great workout. Only thing I didnt like was the part of the trail near the highway. The road noise was too loud. Also followed the gps on this app better than the signs on the trail itself.
June 27, 2020June 22, 2020A quick little hike for a scenic Boston overlook.
June 17, 2020Great hike close by, great views of Boston!
May 23, 2020Nice hike to get out of the city without actually leaving! It’s a quickie but has some great views of Boston!
April 25, 2020Great family hike with kids! Some steep climbs (abs descents) but great views!
April 25, 2020Nice views
April 14, 2020Currently closed for Cov19. Until further notice
April 12, 2020Great trail, the one proposed on here isn’t super well marked out in the park so I used the gps on the app and that worked great. Great conditions and a good amount of elevation change so it made for a bit of a workout
March 27, 2020Very steep road up and very steep trail down. Also quite lovely in the early spring.
January 4, 2020Great loop not too far from home!! Was foggy the day I went, which made it beautiful!
November 9, 2019Good city view!
October 26, 201911.02.19 my dog loves this park, but at this time of year they close the gate to the car road that lets you drive up to different sites in the park. only the main lot at the bottom of the hill is open. lots of foliage at this time of year, the off pavement trails can get quite scrambly and hard to stay on (nothing is marked). but overall we enjoy this park a lot
September 28, 2019Super off-leash dog-friendly once you’re off the roads. Couples of nice up and downs—gets a little rocky and rough at a few points, but completely manageable! A pleasant hike all around.
September 21, 2019September 2, 2019August 25, 2019I’ve come here twice only because it was convenient- it’s not necessarily a “destination trail”. That being said, it’s fairly well kept, a good off-leash walk for dogs, and the views of the city are decent.
August 18, 2019I did bike riding, is pretty good for off road bikers, all levels!
August 16, 2019Not a great trail. Tons of bugs. And the last part (if going counterclockwise) is overgrown and loose rocks.
