Blue Hills Gets New Trail Map
The DCR Blue Hills Reservation, in cooperation with
the Trailside Museum Charitable Trust, has a newly revised trail map and
guide. This map and guide contains the latest official DCR trail and
park information.
Among the map's changes since the last printing in August 2008 are:
• Added red dot color-coded trail loop from Houghton’s Pond to Buck Hill
• Added yellow dot color-coded trail loop off West Street in Braintree
• Minor reroute of Skyline Trail around a wet area near Wildcat Notch to
reduce trail erosion
• Removal of green dot loop color coding at Little Blue Hill
• Update Blue Hills Trailside Museum operating hours
DCR strongly encourages all park visitors to upgrade to the new map
for the latest trail improvements and official park information.
The new trail maps are for sale for $2 each at the DCR Blue Hills
Reservation headquarters at 695 Hillside Street in Milton and at the
Blue Hills Trailside Museum at 1904 Canton Avenue in Milton. Contact
Ranger Maggi Brown at 617-698-1802, ext. 213, if you have any questions
or would like a complete list of 2009 edits.
In addition a free DCR Blue Hills Reservation profile brochure is also
available, with general information about facilities and features within
the reservation. The free Blue Hills profile brochure does not include a
trail map but does show a locator map to key parking areas and other
features in the park.
