Why Mystic Lakes is Boston’s best summer escape

Mystic Lakes State Park is the kind of spot that makes you forget you’re just minutes from downtown Boston. Locals rave about its paddleboarding, lakeside trails, and grassy picnic areas—plus, the new solar-powered bathhouse and accessible paths make it even better for everyone. Shannon Beach is a summer favorite, with lifeguards, a playground, and even an ice cream truck. Parking is free, but it fills up fast on sunny weekends, so early birds get the best spots. Anyone else have favorite memories or tips for a perfect day at Mystic Lakes? #Travel #Boston #MysticLakes
