Blue Hills Reservation

About Blue Hills Reservation

Explore the natural beauty of the Blue Hills Reservation in Milton, Massachusetts, a haven for hikers of all skill levels. Discover trails like the popular Coon Hollow Path, a roughly 2.0-mile out-and-back trek that follows Hillside Street and connects you to the expansive trail network within the reservation, including access to the famed Skyline Trail. Be aware that Coon Hollow Path is slightly longer than the sometimes reported 1.6 miles.

For a shorter adventure, consider the Blue Hills Loop Hike, a 1.6-mile circuit offering a taste of the reservation's diverse terrain. This loop combines sections of the Skyline, Dark Hollow, and Headquarters Path Trails, marked by distinctive blue, green, and unmarked blazes respectively, making navigation easy. The route includes a brief stop at a small lookout point on Tucker Hill, perfect for a moment of rest before continuing your exploration of the Blue Hills Reservation's many paths and scenic vistas.
