A beautiful spot in Mt. Washington, MA, Bash Bish Falls offers a relatively easy hike with a great reward at the end.

The walk down the trail to the falls is undoubtedly worth every step.
Read MoreThe Hurd property trail offers a 2-3 mile hike with panoramas of picturesque horse farms. The Groton area is rich with hiking trails, and this is one of our favorites. It has some good views deeper along the trail and a unique area set aside for "peaceful thought" near the beginning.

Bridge(s), Dog-Friendly, Easy, MA, Medium - Encounter Several People, Paved, Rail Trail, Stroller-Friendly, Water, Wheelchair Accessible

Surprisingly, we have never seen this path get too busy, but there are usually a few people on it each time we visit.
