Sharon Woods

Ideal for families, dog walkers, runners, cyclists and anglers wanting an easy, safe day outdoors. Skip it if you want solitude on busy weekends or holidays, when crowds and parking pressure peak. Arrive early on warm days and weekends, as parking fills fast. The perimeter path is paved and mostly easy; nature preserve trails are rougher. Bring gear for catch-and-release fishing. Rangers patrol and enforce speed and stop signs.
