Lynn Woods Reservation

Who doesn't need some quiet time for a walk in the woods? Or a wild mountain bike ride?

A wealth of recreational activities is located just next door to Lynnfield Commons. The popular Lynn Woods Reservation — a magnificent 2,200-acre forest park — is your own backyard oasis. The second largest municipal park in the U.S., Lynn Woods is an unspoiled public recreational resource featuring over 75 miles of trails surrounded by a forest, three large freshwater ponds, open meadows, wetlands, streams and rocky ledge — as well as famous local landmarks: Stone Tower, Dungeon Rock, Wolf Pits and the lovely Rose Garden. More than a wilderness experience, Lynn Woods is a rare and unique adventure that awaits your exploration and enjoyment.

Mountain bike enthusiasts abound in Lynn Woods, as well as cross-country runners, dog walkers, hikers, joggers, horseback riders, snowshoers, nature lovers and bird watchers (well over 100 species of birds make this forest preserve their home). You will come to love and appreciate the woods and its many elaborate trails as did the early settlers in 1881 who wisely preserved it for all generations.
