Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge

So many trails to choose from! Lots of trees for shade and clear trails. Enjoyed my walk here. The geese were nesting at the time so be aware when walking near them...they hiss!! No pets were allowed on the trail I went on. Google didn't take me to the welcome center, it was a smaller parking area on the opposite end behind a neighborhood. Parking at the welcome center is better.

Great walking trail. Would recommend doing the loop trail from the visitor center. Don’t come after a rainy day though. Parts of the loop were submerged and our sneakers got wet while trying to cross (100~200ft under water).

Great place for fishing! I don’t go fishing but for a Tuesday afternoon, couple folks were there here so I am assuming is a hot spot.

Brilliant discovery. Miles of trails. Wetlands with great wildlife. FABULOUS. Discovered a Great Blue Heron nest with three chicks.

The bunkers and the ponds were the highlights. Awesome weathered bunkers throughout the trails from WW2, ponds left and right with many birds. Beautiful views in the winter, can’t wait to see them in the summer. It’s a 8 mile hike if you do the whole loop. Definitely worth it. You can even see the old light and power line and poles from when people used to live in that land!
