Dorchester Mill Pond EcoTrail

Great trail for fishing and enjoying nature, I recommend putting on bug spray tho because there’s lots of mosquitoes

I like this pond for kayaking, has parking and it's not usually that busy if your early. Fishing can be alright at times, pond is very weedy so bring gear that can punch through grass and not snag all the time.

Great trail to walk, however be careful on some of the boardwalks. As they have seen better days and some boards are rotting. And should be replaced.

A lovely forest trail around the pond. There are some parts that are steep, and triping hazards abound.
Grab some ice cream when you finish the loop!

Beautiful hiking trail around the lake. Saw at least 4 turtles during my trek. Ice cream shop is nearby.

Mostly shaded trail, mixed dirt path, some roots and uneven, and with boardwalk in some sections. Easy walk. Reward yourself with ice-cream at the Frozen Cow.

A great walk, not too hard of a hike. The views are stunning and the trail is nice and defined.

Went here for a walk with my girlfriend in autumn last year and it was a beautiful experience. Theres a mix of winding forest trails and wooden bridges and decks to look at the pond. A whole walk around the pond takes about 1½ to 2 hours.

We wanted to do something different for Father’s Day and decided to do a nature walk, so we checked out old mill pond in Dorchester. Boy were we surprised, it was absolutely beautiful. It took us about an hour to walk the trail and along the way we saw some great wildlife. This is a place I highly recommend to check out and enjoy. It turned out to be a great Father’s Day experience. We will be coming back, it was so wonderful and peaceful. What a gem!

Our favorite place to hike. So peaceful and quiet most of the times. Very gentle trail for people with weak legs. Ice cream shop nearby is a bonus.

Peaceful trail with scenic views. Benches and Bridges scattered throughout. Trail has some hills, wear proper shoes. Dog friendly, but please have your dog on a leash. Cute frog pond with educational rocks for kids. Takes roughly 40 mins to walk the entirety of the trail. Cute ice cream shop nearby for a cool snack after your walk.

Best time to go is on fall.
Good spot for fishing.
Its a very small trial.and there is a very small water fall too.

This place is a semi-hidden gem. Sure, we drive past one of the entrances to the Mill Pond all the time, but one could never guess about the oasis that sits behind the tree line. There's a beautiful trail that takes hikers past turtles, geese, snakes, frogs, and more. A definite worthwhile stop for anyone looking for a nice walk with nature.

We love coming here year round to enjoy this trail. Some parts are not very wide so be careful when passing other parties. One section can get slippery and muddy. Good shoes are important.

This is a really cool little park. It's beautiful. It's not overly busy. Overall a good place to spend an afternoon. I took my daughter here, and it didn't disappoint. We had a lot of fun hiking around the pond. We will definitely be back for more hikes and more fun

Nice trail path alongside mill pond. It's frozen in winters and you can enjoy fishing or skating on it also
