Around Town This Spring
Things to do this spring in Boston’s Metrowest Area
Get outside!
Really, is there anything else you want to do now that winter is over? Of course not, especially not with all the great options for getting out and about.
Marlborough-Sudbury State Forest and Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge offer hiking trails and bird watching. You can dip your toes where literary history happened at the Walden Pond State Reservation. Want to take it up a notch, you can bike the trails at either Hopkinton or Callahan State Parks. Or relax on the waters of Hopkinton or Cochituate State Parks (though boat rentals won’t start until Memorial Day). These are just of few of the options available for shaking off the winter doldrums.
Get outside and work.
If you want to be more productive in your outside activities you can visit one of the many Farmer’s Markets in the area to find the perfect plants for spring planting.
Get outside and eat.
