Hemlock Gorge Reservation

Open

Newton Upper Falls, Needham

Park in the small lot on the corner of Hamilton Place and Central Avenue.
Reviewers recommend walking under the bridge to test the echo.
Reviewers note that the trail is particularly pleasant during the fall foliage season.

Spanning twenty-three acres along the Charles River, Hemlock Gorge Reservation features Echo Bridge, where visitors can stand on the platform underneath to test its famous acoustic echo.
