Middlesex Fells

This park is good for short trail hikes with kids, but don’t go out of your way to visit. When we hiked there a few days ago, the ground surrounding the lookout tower was covered with broken glass. I’m told it’s often like that. The park relies on volunteers to clean up, because of cuts in the parks deparment budget. The tower is locked, but there’s a good view of Boston from a nearby rocky ledge.
