This reservoir is easily accessible from Chickatawat Road in the Blue Hills Reservation park. It's a fishing lake with over five species of native fish, and a wonderful location for a walk. There's a footpath that circles the lake and a parking area available.

The Blue Hills Reservoir sits right next to Chickatawat Road in the Blue Hills Reservation. It is primarily a fishing lake, but as it is so close to the road, it gives you an uninterrupted scenic overlook of the pond and surrounding treeline. There is a parking area nearby or a pull-in area by the fire hydrant half way along the north shore if you want to stop.
