Mystic River Reservation follows a river landscape through several communities north of Boston.
Public paths and waterside green spaces provide ways to explore the river corridor beyond a single neighborhood park.
Use the current DCR map to choose a public access point near Medford or another part of the reservation. Connections, permitted activities and river-edge conditions differ by section. The photograph shows a tree-lined path in the wider Mystic corridor near Arlington rather than a specific Medford entrance.
