Middlesex Fells Reservation

I took advantage of the snow storm this past Saturday and went on a short adventure with Nicole to Middlesex Fells Reservation in Winchester, MA. It was only about a 7 minute drive from my apartment in Woburn, and instead of being scared of the snow we decided to brave the weather and go on a short hike there. Neither of us have proper winter clothing so we looked like two well layered rodeo clowns walking thought the woods, but that's besides the point.
From what I could gather there are plenty of hiking trails available in the park, and a good amount of parking at the trail head we went to. We started off hiking on the Willow Spring path and continued for a bit onto Wanapinaquin Rd. There is plenty of information on the park at the Friends of Middlesex Fells Reservation website and also Google maps has all of the major trails outlined.
It was a nice hike through the snowy woods on a trail that followed the coast of one on the lakes located in the reservation. Nicole lost her phone during a furious jumping session, but by blind luck she found in buried in the snow on the way back, which was one of the most epic finds in recent history. We saw plenty of people cross country skiing and hiking through the woods while out on the trek and all and all it was a fun hike and I plan on going back a few more times to check out some of the other trails available and I would recommend anyone else in the area to do so also. For a park that is located 10 miles from the center of Boston it has a very remote feeling with plenty of space to explore without running into many other people, which is otherwise quite impossible in this area. I took my new GoPro along and snapped a few pictures.

Mileage: 2 Miles

Yeah..yeah.
