    The Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge is a 12-mile wetland conservation area and home to a large variety of birds and turtles. A well-maintained trail circles the pond's perimeter with marshes and beautiful lotuses that bloom in summer. There are a few short trails and a path leading to the Concord River with benches, which are ideal for relaxing and taking in the scenery. It's a favorite spot for families and photographers, with an observation tower that provides excellent views. Parking is free but limited, with clean restrooms (closed in winter) and a port-a-potty available.
      On the Reformatory Branch Trail. Plenty of parking a the trail head and overlook tower.
