Chestnut Hill Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

You can still see this reservoir's masterfully crafted waterworks, which date all the way back to the 1860s, and a couple of aqueducts as you zip past on the 1.5-mile paved loop that circles the water. This is also a nice spot for birding, and for swimming in the summer or ice skating in the winter.
