From Route 2
Follow Route 2 toward Cambridge
where it empties into Alewife Brook Parkway (US Highway 3). Follow
Alewife Brook Parkway south to the rotary at Concord Avenue. Proceed
about 2/3 of the way around the rotary and get off on Concord Avenue heading
southeast. At this point, you will see the Fresh Pond resevoir on
your right. Proceed about 2/10 of a mile to the rotary at Fresh Pond
Parkway. Take the first exit from the rotary on Fresh Pond Parkway.
(Throughout all of these turns, you will be staying on Route 2, which is
also US Highway 3.) The entrance to the reservation is less than
half a mile down on the right.
From BB&N's Upper School
Leave the school heading north
on Gerrys Landing Road. Follow signs for Route 2 (US Highway 3) towards
Fresh Pond. When you cross Brattle St., Gerrys Landing Road becomes
Fresh Pond Parkway. Stay on Fresh Pond Parkway for about 1/2 mile.
As you cross Huron Avenue, you will see a one-way street which is the exit
to the Fresh Pond Reservation parking lot; the entrance is about 2/10 of
a mile further down Fresh Pond Parkway, on your left.
