Wilmington
One spur of the MLT connects to south Wilmington at the 140-acre Mill Pond Conservation Area surrounding Mill Pond Reservoir that sits in the corner of Wilmington, Burlington and Woburn. Check the Woburn page for the route from Mill Pond to Horn Pond.
The MLT team is researching the best route from the 154-acre Wilmington Town Forest in North Wilmington, with sweeping views of Boston, to connect to the Mill Pond Conservation Area.

Wilmington Town Forest
Wilmington’s Town Forest is a nice quiet place for a walk in the woods. Look for the sizable boulders left by the glacier. The forest borders on Andover and you can easily walk into Andover forest land from here. There is a water town high up from which there are views outward.
Lubber’s Brook
Wilmington’s Lubbers Brook is a smallish but pleasant spot with lovely views of wetlands. Like everywhere these days it is dog-friendly but only on leash.
Dog Park and Middlesex Canal
Wilmington’s Dog Park connects to a trail along the historic Middlesex Canal, a remarkable piece of history. The Dog Park is also known as Town Park. You can park right off route 38, also known as Main Street, to explore both walks.
