    Ward Reservation is definitely recommended for spectacular views. We went on the Yellow and Blue…read moretrails before sunset. The trail was well maintained and easy for walking although it was called as "moderate" in some other mobile apps. All the trail signs are clear and easy to follow. When getting to the top of Holt hill, you will be amazed by the Boston skyline without occlusion. Compared to the breathtaking view at Holt hill, the one at the top of Boston hill slightly disappoints me. It is still an enjoyable walk surrounded by the view of the sunset, but the skyline is missing. You may not get too much out of the elephant rock. Again, overall it is a fantastic place for walking, jogging, and biking.

    Went here with my mother for a thanksgiving break hike! It is a not too strenuous hike (but there…read moreare some hills) that can be fun for the family. Depending on the path you choose you can alter the distance to your liking. There is a parking lot at the reservation with a $5 fee that goes into maintaining the beautiful park. Things you can do: - see the sun stones! this is an easy route but it is up a hill - elephant rock! honestly it's just a rock, it isn't anything amazing but it is along one of the longer routes. - scenic overlooks of boston skyline! see attached pic I really commend those who marked the trails. It's really easy to follow and not get lost! Highly suggest checking it out :)

    Great day hike and not for those with weak ankles! Took the white dot trail up and used the white…read morecross trail to come down. Forgot the bug spray which would have kept the critters at bay with much of the trail having slow or puddled water. Parking wasn't too crowded, $15 for access to park. Snack and gift shop in the lot and the headquarters building just up the trail. Great restroom facility to use prior to starting the hike as well. Very rocky terrain all the way up, clearly marked with white dots (crosses as well for the return). Enjoyed the fact there were multiple volunteer guides hiking or positioned at locations (one steady at fork for dot/cross) if needed. Had low reception all through the hike for emergencies as well. Beautiful views towards the top and of course 360 once on the summit. Definitely worth the time spent. Pack in pack out, bring water and snacks along with the spray (both bug and sun)! Enjoyed a quick snack on the top with the views and a quick tsp of the marker before heading back down. Time to get up to the peak, what are you waiting for?!

    For a mere $15 cash you can access some pristine hiking opportunities. I have trekked these grounds…read morein all 4 seasons. Each has its own unique set of challenges and joys. Whether it is ice and snow with trax on or wet leaves on a steep incline, you can bet on a challenge. The most commonly used trail up the mountain is the 2 mile (one way), White Dot trail. It is well marked and easily followed. The elevation gain is rapid, as this is a shorter hike. The views are absolutely stellar from the summit. There is a small shop at the base and you receive a map upon entry with basic guidelines and trails. If you are into the outdoors, I highly recommend this spot! Laces up!

    It was my sincere intention to fully enjoy the healing and therapeutic value of hiking along the…read morerail trails, and the solo camping along the way. I was SO excited, I was all prepared (over-prepared actually) and had been planning this excursion for months. I didn't get very far, as fear basically paralyzed me the minute that I touched down at the trail. For some reason ALL of the local ATV riders were hyper-aware of my presence (I wonder why that is) and so they were recurrently, in unison, revving up their engines as loud as they possibly could, in some kind of a group signal regarding my being there, alone, hiking, not bothering anyone - but not about anyone else there hiking apparently. Just me. How interesting. My original plan was to stay much longer, hiking to the mountains in the North, but on day 2 I heard someone nailing something against a tree near my tent. When I came out of the tent the next day I saw that someone had nailed a NO TRESPASSING sign riddled with bullets near my camp. On public land. That was really kind of whoever felt that was appropriate. So someone went out of their way to vandalize state park property simply to terrorize me. That was nice. I have attached those photos of the lovely, bullet riddled sign that was meant for me specifically. Thank you for your welcoming spirit New Hampshire. My visit wasn't traumatic at all.

    Been on this trail many times the past couple of years. Still plan to do a long distance ride from…read moreone end of the trail to the other end on my vacation this year.

The hike is fairly rigorous, with pretty steep inclines and a lot of rocks. It's challenging, especially in winter while icy (which is when we went), and likely a moderate level hiking trail. It's a beautiful area, but the overlooks are fairly modest. Don't expect a spot on the trail to overlook a mountain range, but the trail itself runs along the river and there are nice smaller falls before reaching the main one. The trail markings are okay, not excellent, and likely harder to follow when it's not winter and leaves are on the trees. However, most of the trail does run basically right along the river, so it's pretty hard to get lost. There are some restaurants to eat at in Athol afterwards, which is within 20 minutes, but I wouldn't recommend trying to find anything very special there. I recommend bringing some sandwiches or something or go to another town to grab some food afterwards. It is a very rural area, so please remember to come prepared! Bring lots of water, food, and a flashlight just in case you get stuck out there at night- the light on your phone won't help you find the trail again at night ;) Be safe and have fun enjoying this beautiful gorge and waterfall!
