Join us for a ~4.5 mile hike in the West part of the Middlesex FELLS Reservation. Located ~10 miles from MIT, the FELLS Reservation is a natural treasure, offering beautiful sceneries and providing an important drinking water supply for many residents north of Boston.

The Fells Reservation spans ~2,200-acres that include a diverse landscape of forest, wetlands, and hills, something all too rare in our urban/suburban landscape. This range of habitat sustains a variety of wildlife including mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds.

Approximate Trail Map
Our trail will loop around the FELLS North Reservoir along wooded areas with a mildly undulating terrain, offering frequent vistas of both North and Middle Reservoirs. We will have a brief lunch break at one of the scenic points, so, please bring a sandwich or snack and drinking water.

The expected start-to-end duration is 2 to 2.5 hours depending on weather and ground-surface conditions. The final trail will be selected closer to the hiking date, adapted to updated hike-day weather conditions and expected trail-surface conditions.
