DESCRIPTION: Centennial Reservation (1.8 miles). Take a picturesque walk, through rolling meadows to the top of Maugus Hill, one of the highest points in Wellesley. View the beautiful Great Blue Hills in Canton from a hillside meadow overlooking the town of Needham. Then, descend through the meadow and around Benzanson Pond, a favorite swimming hole for dogs as well as frogs and tadpoles. Come explore this conservation land purchased by the town for Wellesley’s 1981 Centennial Celebration and now one of the most popular trails in Wellesley. This walk also includes Mass Bay land that is maintained by the Wellesley Trails Committee and the Wellesley DPW.
