Description Suggest change

The northeast corner of Lynn Woods is called Bow Ridge Reservation. It is a municipal park and a topographic feature. Many small cliffs and small to large boulders live here. Boston Rocks has some information on this location, but there is much more than that!

Getting There Suggest change

You can get there from inside the park, or you can park at the Bow Ridge parking area that is located behind the Jeep dealership. There is dedicated parking. See the map. Additional parking on the weekends. Frequent mountain biker parking/hangout.
