Circum Quabbin (MA)
(Editor Note: This is a "pick your own exact path" route, with 5 requested obligatory milestones, plus 5 requested restrictions; see text below).
The Quabbin Reservoir sits in the heart of Massachusetts. Its surrounding watershed has been protected for the sake of preserving the pristine nature of Boston's drinking water supply. Four towns were disincorporated during the reservoir's creation and relics of their past are found throughout the forest in the form of stone walls, cellar holes, and ancient hardwoods lining old gravel roads.
