Forested trails, ponds, and bird-watching
Devil's Den Preserve in Weston is a 1,700-acre forested sanctuary with over 20 miles of well-marked trails, scenic ponds, streams, and rare wildflowers; the area around Godfrey Pond offers relatively flat terrain ideal for families, while longer routes challenge experienced hikers.
