Lynn Woods Reservation
Lynn Woods Reservation, Public forest park in Lynn, Massachusetts.
The 2,200-acre Lynn Woods Reservation features three reservoirs, dense forest areas, and over 30 miles of trails throughout the natural landscape.
Established in 1881, the park became a crucial water supply resource for Lynn during the industrial development of the 1840s through the damming of Breed's Pond.
The Stone Tower, constructed in 1936, stands 48 feet tall and serves as an observation point for visitors exploring the reservation's natural environment.
Visitors can access the park through two main entrances: 106 Pennybrook Road and 118 Great Woods Road, with operating hours from sunrise to sunset.
Dungeon Rock contains an underground tunnel connected to a legend about Thomas Veal, a pirate who supposedly buried treasure before an earthquake in 1658.

Massachusetts offers a range of locations beyond Boston and Cape Cod that receive fewer visitors. In the western part of the state, stone tower lookouts rise above forested hills, while waterfalls are located within state forests. Historic buildings from the 19th century stand in smaller communities, and gardens featuring native plant species are open to the public. The coastal region includes lighthouses on rocky points and beaches away from main travel routes. A museum houses a walk-through glass globe, geological formations show traces of past ice ages, and Victorian houses document different architectural styles. These places often require specific planning as they lie away from typical tourist routes.
