The Little-Known Park In Massachusetts That Transforms Into An Ice Palace In The Winter
Winter may be cold, it may be gray, and it may be bitter, but it sure can be pretty! After newly fallen snow when the landscape is covered in a blanket of white, there’s something truly magical about it. And when it’s so cold that ice and icicles start to form, it can be quite breathtaking to see. One little-known park in Massachusetts transforms into a bit of an ice palace during the winter. This is Noon Hill and it should be added to your winter bucket list immediately.
Located in Medfield, Noon Hill is an underrated park that is overseen by The Trustees of Reservations. The 204-acre property is known for Noon Hill which towers over the landscape at 370 feet.
While the property, filled with woodlands, trails, and a pond, can be visited any time of the year, there's just something about exploring it during the winter.
If you enjoy a brisk winter hike, there are 4.5 miles of trails that are rated both moderate and strenuous. The trails will lead around Noon Hill and even to the top where you can take in views of the surrounding landscape as well as Gillette Stadium.
