hikes

With over 2,000 acres of land, the Middlesex Fells is great place to explore the outdoors with its many winding paths, ponds, an abundance of wildlife, and more!

The activities are, truly, endless and include hiking (there's more than a 100-miles of mixed-use trails!), biking, fishing, and even an off-leash area for the dogs to play too. Canoe and kayak rentals are also available if you want to take the little ones out on the water.

The Friends of the Fells is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the Fells. Each year, they host a wide range of family-friendly programs for kids of all ages, including "Babes in the Woods" for kids under three, "Hike 'n' Seek" for kids three to four years old, and an outdoor kindergarten!

The Head of Accounting and Boston Ambassador, Jenny has been living in Boston for almost 10 years. Before Boston, she lived in Washington, DC for 8 years, and previous to that grew up on Long Island, NY. Along the way, she spent a few months in Amsterdam with her family biking all around and exploring that beautiful city! Jenny has always enjoyed being active - from organized sports to jogging, and of course, being in the garden as much as possible when the weather is cooperative. She tries to include her children in all of her active hobbies. With two toddler boys, ages 3 and 5, she and her husband spend their time discovering new places and things to do in the New England area. Spending time outdoors in all types of weather and encouraging her children to love all seasons is very important to her - and so is helping and encouraging others to do the same. Jenny and her family love spending time at the beach, traveling, taking walks and hikes, and of course, finding new playgrounds!
