Description

Beginning at the Whitmore Brook Entrance in the western Fells near Medford High School, on Winthrop Street, the Cross Fells Trail gives a good sampling of the features of the Reservation, from wetlands at Whitmore Brook to open water at Quarter Mile Pond in the eastern Fells, to views at Cairn Hill. Following the blue blazes throughout, the trail ends on Goodyear Ave, in Oakdale Park to the east. Use caution crossing South Border Road, Route 28, Woodland Road and the Fellsway. There is limited/no parking at the trailheads.
