Mountain biking

There's a rare bog at one end of Ponkapoag Pond that needs a specific water level to stay healthy. This dam helps maintain the pond's optimal level, essential for preserving the ecosystem's balance. The brook that flows from the dam meanders through the serene woods before eventually joining the Neponset River, adding to the charm and diversity of the area. It's a beautiful and peaceful spot to take a break and enjoy the scenery.
