Chosen by Yankee Magazine’s Travel Guide to New England as Editor’s Pick, Great Brook Farm State Park stands as a jewel in northern Massachusetts! There are over 20 miles of trails available for walkers, hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders. During the winter months, cross-country skiing is available and one trail is lantern lit for a “moon light” experience!
The Cranberry Bog
The Duffy’s locally grown cranberry bog (within walking distance from Great Brook Farm State Park) was established over 100 years ago. One of the many protected parcels of the town of Carlisle. This bog covers 40 acres.
What else is there to do?
Historic Lexington and Concord are just a few miles a away; Paul Revere’s famous ride passed through town, and Henry David Thoreau’s Walden Pond is just down the road. Of course, the coolest city on the planet is a quick 35 minutes drive. The Harbor, Faneuil Hall, Duck Tours, The Common, Newbury Street…need I go on?
