Massachusetts is home to plenty of beautiful bodies of water, but inside Cutler Park Reservation you’ll find our largest freshwater marsh. This park is owned by the state and features plenty of breathtaking slices of Massachusetts nature, but one of the most memorable is the massive freshwater marsh. If you’ve lived in Boston for any amount of time, you’ve probably walked upon Charles River, and this marsh is actually located in the middle of our famous river in Needham. Whether you want to go on a hike through the marsh and forests, or relax and do some bird-watching, Cutler Park Reservation is an amazing natural oasis featuring Massachusetts’ largest marsh.
