The Quabbin Nature Walk Trail is a small 0.7 out-and-back hike that starts around the corner from parking at the Goodnough Dike at Quabbin Reservoir.

This is a very easy trail but over grown and not maintained during the summer.

Lookout Point
As you follow the trail to the northern section of the loop, you'll find signs for a lookout point. To find it, follow the yellow blazes out to a small lookout that sits above the dike.

Parking
Parking can be found along Old Ware-Enfield Rd by the entrance to the Goodnough Dike Trail. Hikers must walk in on the Goodnough Dike Loop Trail for about 0.15 to 0.2-miles to reach this trailhead.

Pets
