MILES STANDISH STATE FOREST –East Head Reservoir Trail.

The trails are beautifully maintained, and the park welcomes dog owners and equestrians. Miles Standish State Forest has many trails, one of particular beauty is the loop trail, called the East Head Reservoir Trail. It’s an almost completely flat 2.5 mile loop around one of the many ponds in the forest. It’s a great way to get acquainted with the forest.

Offering wonderful views of the pond, the loop trail also gives hikers access to learn about much of the local flora.

Near the half way point, a wooden boardwalk helps you travel over fragile marshlands. Beautiful birch trees in this area offer breathtaking contrast to their surroundings.
