Middlesex Fells Reservation, Urban forest recreation area in Malden, United States.
Middlesex Fells Reservation spreads across five communities north of Boston, covering forests, rocky hills, and several bodies of water. The terrain consists of dense tree cover with trails winding through hilly ground.
The area served timber harvesting and quarry work in the 17th century before being preserved as parkland in the late 1800s. The transformation into a protected space came through local conservation efforts after decades of industrial use.
The reservation became a metropolitan park in 1893, transforming from industrial grounds to a natural space that preserves local watersheds and forests.
The trails work for walking, cycling, and horseback riding, though some sections are steep and rocky. Dogs can run free in designated areas while other parts require leashes.
The rocks and hills contain traces of old quarries where granite was extracted for building projects in Boston. Some of these abandoned pits now hold water and form small ponds between the trees.
