Highlight • Lake

The Sudbury Reservoir is about 5,000 acres in size and is the emergency backup water supply for Boston. It has numerous large brooks running into it, numerous islands, and is a very scenic, forested area worth visiting in its own right.

View of Wachusett Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

It is not always about following the tracks of a train, a natural trail or the route of a famous race. Sometimes, you find yourself following the course of underground water! The Hultman and Wachusett Aqueducts are some of the water conducting sources of Massachusetts, water you'll probably be drinking by the time you hit these roads!
