Scenic New England photo gallery

Stony Brook Reservation, Norfolk, Mass.

by Eric H.

Stony Brook Reservation in the southwest Boston suburb of Norfolk, Mass., is a true New England hidden gem offering an extensive boardwalk system and hiking trails leading to water views and marsh land and -- surprise -- muskrats, great blue herons, canada geese, black ducks, wood ducks and of course, frogs and turtles. While Stony Brook is well-known to locals -- especially school systems looking to go beyond books and into the "field" -- this great New England destination (expertly and pleasantly run by the Mass. Audubon Society) would serve tourists well as a peaceful, scenic locale with "New England" written all over it. This isn't the type of place mentioned up front in the major travel guides, but deserves to be as the sheer beauty and interest of the area is every bit as appealing as more popular scenic New England spots.

Stony Brook Reservation, 108 North St., Norfolk, Mass. Tel. 508-528-3140.
