Hank's Meadow Loop Trail is a popular spot at Quabbin Reservoir for a picnic or short hike down to the water. This trail leads from either edge of the parking lot, down to Quabbin Reservoir, and back.

It's a short 0.5 mile loop with amazing views of Quabbin. You can continue hiking along the shoreline, but it's rocky. If you hike far enough, you can even make it to the Gate 52 Trail.
