Middlesex Fells Reservation, Massachusetts, United States
4.5 (57 reviews) Wednesday: 8:45 AM - 5:00 PM Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #2 in Malden Nature & Wildlife Areas
One of my favorite Boston Hikes!
I love doing the 7 mile skyline trail. It is surprisingly rugged for a trail so close to the city and provides a wonderful 4-5 hour workout with some beautiful views in a beautiful forest. It is a loop over the many hills that line the two reservoirs and is a treat any time of year. A real winner!

A great place for an afternoon hike near Boston
The "Fells" is a large hilly wooded area just north of Boston, covering parts of Medford, Malden, Melrose, Stoneham, and Winchester. There are lots of trails, some just for hikers and some that are great for mountain biking too. We often go for a 1/2 hour hike to the observation tower just west of the Roosevelt circle (exit 33) in Medford. A few days ago we were driving up the "Jerry Jingle" highway and stopped for an hour plus hike up through the woods on the Malden/Melrose side of the park. We found a terrific overlook at Boojum Rock, looking back down toward Boston on the south side of the park. We then hiked up north about 1/2 mile or so to a beautiful old rock quarry now a reservoir. We saw a falcon who had set up on a tower and was eyeing his territory. All together it was a wonderful fall hike and we will be sure to go back again. You should go if you are in the area and looking for a nice walk in the woods.

Rocky Circuit Trail is fun but it's easy to get lost
We did the Rock Circuit Trail. The trail itself is fun to do and there are some nice views. However, it is sometimes very easy to get lost. Also keep in mind that the trail takes around 3h and is decently demanding.
