Mind Body Soul Summer: Take a Hike!

We are so fortunate to call New England home! From the wildlife, distinct seasons, history and culture, New England offers amazing scenery for quality family time spent outdoors. And family hikes are a huge hit!  

If your family is not an avid hiking team, you’ll want to do a little research and preparations to ensure safety and to get the most enjoyment out of your adventure! There are many resources online to know what supplies you should take with you, maps to navigate, and suggestions for trails. Here are a few suggestions of “the Best Kid Friendly Trails in Massachusetts” according to Alltrails.com:

Blue Hills Reservation

Watatic Mountain State Wildlife Area

Great Brook Farm State Park

Middlesex Fells Reservation

Gilbert Hills State Park
