This small nature reserve is a bit of an oasis of pleasing countryside tucked away in the midst of busy streets and malls. It is a nice place to take a walk or stroll. And of course lots of people come to practice their rock climbing at one of the few locations to climb near Boston. But there are some drawbacks here as well: The trails seem tired and worn with all the use they get. The area has lost some of it's lush and green and verdant appearance over the years. And, unfortnately, there is oftentimes litter along the edges of the trails. But it is still one of the few natural getaways so close to all the streets and malls nearby.
