Mountain Biking Ward Reservation

*****   Add a review
#66 of 223 mountain bike trails in Massachusetts
#4,282 in the world

Not as technical as nearby Harold Parker, but great singletrack with some nice climbs up the three hills in the reservation: Shrub Hill, Boston Hill & Holt Hill (the highest point in Essex County), offering views of the surrounding area and the distant Boston Skyline. The Solstice Stones on Holt Hill is a nice place to stop for a breather. There's an extensive network of trails within the 700 acre reservation, which take a little planning to put together a good route but once you've ridden it a couple times you can find a good flow, which will likely include some doubletrack/fire road connections. Can be connected to HP for an even longer ride.
