Chestnut Hill Reservoir Loop

A flat 1.5-mile gravel loop around open water, with the Boston skyline on the far side.

The Reservoir loop is the definitive Chestnut Hill activity: a mile and a half of level crushed stone with water on one side and mature trees on the other. It draws runners at dawn, strollers midday, and a golden-hour crowd that is worth planning around.

The path connects to the Green Line B branch at Cleveland Circle, so you can arrive without a car. Dogs on leash are welcome; swimming is not.

Where to find it
