Henry L. Shattuck Reservation


A view of the Charles River floodplain
 

Description Shattuck Reservation at 245 acres comprises a forested upland neck of oak and pine overlooking a wet meadow and red maple swamp. Two trails lead from the neck across wetlands to two islands that offer views of the Charles River. Another trail leads from the neck to a lookout across the Charles River to Marshview Point, a ten-acre finger of upland nearly surrounded by floodplain. Shattuck Reservation's old stone walls indicate that it was once nineteenth-century pasture.
