Boxford State Forest - Danvers Massachusetts HikesThis walk through the woods doesn’t offer steep climbs or views, but for its proximity to civilization, Boxford State Forest offers quiet trails and glassy ponds, with signs of beaver, deer, and birds all around.

It closes the loop with a short stroll on a paved road. Hikers will be rewarded here for keeping their eyes open for signs of wildlife— it’s easy to find squirrel nests in trees above piles of broken, shelled beech nuts; and deer have left their tracks and scat everywhere, some quite near hunters’ deer stands.
