Decent place for a hike but trails are extremely poorly marked. We walked from the Edmands Rd parking lot on the Pipeline Trail and had no luck finding the Fox Hunt Trail until a passing runner helped us out. Most parks in the Boston area do a much better job of marking the trails.

Great place to hike , almost six miles today very beautiful quiet place until we were on our way out on the juniper trail when two women were beating the hell out of a 9 inch snake with a tree branch when I asked them why they said it was a snake I'm confused we are trespassing on there land and you kill it I will never understand the human race

A very nice place to take a a walk in nature. A small pond in which dogs can frolic, but beware of unleashed dogs and irresponsible owners who feel as if it is solely a dog park. Many negative experiences over the years with dog owners who don't abide by the rules regarding where the dogs may be unleashed.

Best place around Boston to let your dog roam! Many ponds and streams to keep them (and you) cool. Several trails wind through wooded areas with plenty of shade, and there's a more open meadow area where dogs can run til they drop. For non dog owners, there are also designated trails where dogs must be leashed. I found free parking right off the trail!

Great trails to explore with the pup! Really nice textures and habitat types to enjoy a lovely, easy afternoon.

Not far away from the city, found this beautiful place to unwind.
Since I went there in December end, the trails were not very clear. I walked the Pipeline trail but met with a big bog after about a mile. I figured there was a way around after asking around, after which I could complete the trail. I’m sure there’s a lot more to explore here in the right season, birds being one of them. I spotted this one during this visit!

Easy parking and really lovely but the trails could be better marked. We had to use AllTrails several times to orient.

I regularly ruck the southern half of the park (south of Edmands Rd). Plenty of trails so you can tailor your distance and difficulty. The outer loop is about 3.7 miles. Paths are well used and typically clear of foliage. In the southeast are open field areas were folks can play with thier dogs or partake in other activities. The Pipeline offers a pretty good hill climb. Activities I've done or seen others do include hiking, trail running, mountain biking, horseback riding, snow shoeing and cross country skiing.

Great state park, especially for dog owners. There’s a multitude of trails, some through the woods and some through wide open fields. They are well maintained and well marked for the most part. Almost everyone you see will have a dog, and if you make it to Eagle Pond there’s an unofficial dog park with lots of pups running around off leash. It does seem to get pretty crowded along the main trails, but if you veer off you’ll find yourself alone in nature. Well, besides the occasional house or farm!

An old favorite. We used to come here more when we lived closer, but I always love it when I come and discover a trail I hadn't been to before. It can be noisy and a little chaotic on days when there are lots of dogs running off leash, but usually they stay together near the pond.
