Cutler Park Reservation protects wetland and woodland landscapes near Needham.

Its trails offer a way to explore a quieter natural setting within the developed Charles River area.
Consult the state’s current trail map and access notices before planning your route, including any boardwalk or trail works. The photograph shows a wetland-edge view during an earlier visit rather than present water levels or an assurance that every path is open. Stay on authorized routes and boardwalks, protect sensitive habitat and do not treat open water as a designated swimming facility.
