Wilson Mountain Reservation

It's a great place to walk. It has a variety of relatively easy trail options.

Very scenic trails! We found the trails were not marked at all, so very easy to get lost. Luckily we ran into a friendly lady to help guide the way out.

A great trail for a short hike. We have done it in almost all seasons and it's usually well-maintained. Our dog absolutely loves this; the reservation has small streams and mini ponds that cut across the blue trail, which is perfect for her to skinny dip and cool down in the summers. However, do carry bug spray in the summers --- the mosquitoes get really crazy.

First time visiting. First impressions; Easy parking and off street access. Trails are wide and in pretty good shape. Both start out at an incline but not steep so that most people could handle them. Fairly easy to tackle, having recent back surgery, still getting back in shape and 70 years old, I didn’t find it too strenuous. Lots of flora and fauna to see especially if you wander off the main trails a bit. We found a pond with lots of Lilly pads, lots of rhododendrons growing wild, some lady slippers and numerous other plants. We found several streams and observed lots of granite walls and small cliffs along with other rock formations. My only complaint is that the trails should be marked better. At the beginning there are signs for two trails; one going left the other going right. We took the one to the left and I never saw another trail marker. There were some trails that shot off the main trail but these are not marked either. So it’s unknown which way to go on these smaller trails as they spilt too. It wasn’t clear if these smaller trails were looks that would bring you back to the main trail. The one we took was not a loop and we ended up behind ame maintenance area for the Northeastern athletic facilities.It wasn’t hard to figure out how to get back to the parking lot but not sure if Northeastern minds us cutting through their property. As long as you stay on a trail I don’t think you will get lost, but better markings and perhaps having some maps available at the beginning would help. Norris Reservation in Norwell is very similar ( except flat) and it provides free maps and all of the trails are clearly marked.

Excellent local hike within Rt.128 area of Boston. Decent parking in lot and across the street. We found the hike through the book "60 Hikes Within 60 Miles of Boston" a great resource if you want more to hike than just the Blue Hills. The hike we did with a few stops for some Boulder climbing, took about an hour. A very nice respite so close to the ciry.

Small, but clean and well marked. Some nice tame trails, and some decently rocky and steep ones. Plenty of opportunities to explore if you're not scared to go off the trails, too!

My favorite trail running spot. A 1 mile loop that tests your endurance and coordination. Close to home and even just walking the trails never fails to put me in a good mood!
