Gate 52 Trail

The Gate 52 at Quabbin Reservoir, Massachusetts, is a short 0.6 mile out-and-back trail that leads from Old Ware-Enfield rd down to Quabbin Reservoir.

This trail is tiny, but the views of Quabbin are awesome at the end of it. You can hike along the shoreline for a while as well, but I didn't map out much further than a couple hundred yards from the end of the paved trail.
