This is one of the prettiest — and biggest — landmarks along the Northern Rail Trail, which runs along the railbed of the old Boston and Maine Railroad's Northern Line. The surface along this part of the trail is mostly crushed stone dust, which makes for easy running.

There are nice views of Highland Lake to be had from here on the Franklin Highway. It is worth even getting closer to the shoreline for a better view. The Northern Rail Trail runs adjacent to you between the shore and the highway, and it runs directly alongside the lake. It is easy to turn off here to get an even better place to take a break and enjoy the view.
