Reader Patti McIntyre asks:
“What are some good hiking spots around Boston that I can access by public transportation?”
Some of my favorites:
Middlesex Fells Reservation, 2,200 acres (890 ha) of woods, hills, and lakes north of the city. Many access points; depending on where you want to go, you can use the T Orange Line or buses; and, of course, Lyft and Uber.
Blue Hills Reservation, 6,000-acre (2,400 ha) featuring Great Blue Hill (highest point in the area). Many access points; depending on where you want to go, you can use the T Red Line or buses; and, of course, Lyft and Uber.
Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area; with Spring to Fall hiking trails, swimming, and oceanside camping; accessible via ferry from several departure points, including Long Wharf, just off the Aquarium stop on the T’s Blue Line.
Boston Harborwalk; 47 miles (76 km) of public pathways along the immediate waterfront from East Boston to Neponset, south of the city. Multiple public-transit access points all along its length.
