Policy implementation in Medfield, Massachusetts

Noon Hill Reservation in Medfield, Massachusetts, is a picturesque park and tourist attraction offering visitors the chance to ascend the hill for stunning treetop vistas, explore around Holt Pond, and follow trails that lead through adjacent Trustees reservations to the Charles River. The 370-foot hill is gently elevated above the landscape, with forested slopes and ridges filled with pine, beech, birch, and hemlock trees. In spring, the forest floor is covered with wildflowers, creating a beautiful sight. Holt Pond, created in 1764, offers a serene setting surrounded by stonewall-enclosed pastures that have been reclaimed by the woods over the years. The reservation features four and a half miles of moderate to strenuous trails, part of the Bay Circuit Trail, leading to sweeping views of the rolling hills of Walpole and Norfolk, including Gillette Stadium. The property is managed in conjunction with adjacent conservation land owned by the Town of Medfield. Visitors can access Noon Hill Reservation from Noon Hill Road in Medfield, with parking available for 15 cars. The Shattuck Reservation is located across Causeway Street from Noon Hill.
