Fox Park is a small area along the Charles River in Waltham Massachusetts and hosts an easy 1 mile hike. The trail itself leads from the southern end of Fox Park, out to the Charles River, and ends in the north section of Fox Park - or vice versa. The trail itself is about 0.6 miles one-way, so plan for a 1 mile out-and-back trip.

Because of the lack of main entrances this park is not well-known except by people that live in the area and the students of Brandeis. 

This trail is recommended for a quiet stroll.
