    Hiking

    Stretching 80 miles from Hopkinton to Boston, the Charles River is a hub of activity, offering kayaking, paddleboarding, and boating opportunities, especially during warmer months. Its banks are lined with greenways perfect for walking and cycling, including the Charles River Reservation, which features picnic areas and wildlife habitats. Known as the "River of Song" for inspiring generations of musicians, it also holds historical significance, powering early mills and industries. Be sure to visit landmarks like the Esplanade in Boston or the Moody Street Dam in Waltham for a mix of natural beauty and cultural heritage.
