The Blue Hills Reservation spans for 125 miles and includes hiking trails; bike trails; rock climbing; Houghtons Pond; horseback riding; and picnic areas.

There is a small zoo at the base of the Blue Hills Mountian, just outside the Trailside Museum. The animals kept there have been injured and can no longer survive in the wild.

It is in Canton's backyard and is the ideal weekend spot to enjoy the outdoors and nature.
