About the place
Middlesex Fells, often called The Fells, spans more than 2,000 acres and offers Boston’s closest large-scale spring hiking. The Fells extends over Medford, Stoneham, Winchester, Melrose, and Malden. Early green returns to lowlands by late March, ridge views stay open through April, and cool temperatures support longer mixed-terrain loops.
