There’s No Better Place To View Fall Foliage In Massachusetts Than The Massive Blue Hills Reservation

If you’ve ever been lucky enough to live in Massachusetts during autumn, you’ll know that our fall foliage is absolutely breathtaking. With beautiful red, orange, and yellow leaves upon our massive nature destinations that are sure to feel other-worldly, you’ll want to make sure to catch the fall views before they’re gone. While there are numerous places in Massachusetts to set out when you want to view the fall foliage, there’s no better place than Blue Hills Reservation. This massive 6,000-acre nature reserve is full of fall foliage right now, but make sure to plan a trip soon before the leaves are all gone!

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Blue Hills Reservation is breathtaking at any time of year, but this area is especially jaw-dropping when the leaves change colors in the fall.
