Autumn Walk At Coolidge Reservation

I had not been to Coolidge Reservation in quite a while so I decided to take a walk on a recent pretty fall afternoon. It was refreshing and fulfilling to walk the quiet paths, look at Clark Pond and the leaves and contemplate how fortunate we are to have these properties available to us. Although it is listed as being in Manchester, it’s a quick ride from my Magnolia address to the small parking lot and entrance. It’s a very popular spot so it’s not uncommon to find the parking lot full. I used the Go Trustees app to help with the trail map and I found it spot on. I walked down to Magnolia Beach (the path to the Ocean Lawn is only open on the weekends according to the signage) and back without any issues except be warned there are many many tree roots especially at the beginning of the trail which could trip you up (speaking from experience). Perfect little fall afternoon respite.
