    Beautiful spot for a nature walk. I also highly recommend crossing the road after the boardwalk on the red maple trail to the adjacent Sudbury land trust property. Lots of lush ferns.

    What a wonderful spot to reconnect with nature. We walked during fall post leaf plunge and can't wait to see the wildlife and birds in the spring. Easy trails and boardwalk...ample parking. Would be an AMAZING spot for star gazing....
