An expansive retreat along Indian Brook and the Charles River, Broadmoor is an ever-changing environment teeming with wildlife: dragonflies darting, turtles basking, otters leaving tracks in the mud or snow, and more than 150 species of birds. Easy-to-rugged trails lead you through the shade of mature woodlands into open fields and along the edges of vibrant streams, ponds, and marshland. Nine miles of scenic walking trails through fields, woods, and along the Charles River include a 1/4-mile wheelchair accessible trail and boardwalk along Indian Brook. The eco-friendly Visitor Center, a renovated historic horse barn, features solar heat and electricity, rainwater collection and composting toilets.
