Looking to combine the great outdoors, good local eats, and your favorite local herb? Newton Massachusetts has a number of incredible spots that are EVEN BETTER after you’ve stopped by Redi for some top-tier local cannabis. Redi has top-tier cannabis flower, edibles, pre-rolls, vaporizers, and more! Everything you need to set off on a high-hike and work-up some big time munchies! Here’s your guide to “High Hikes & Bites” in Newton;
Hemlock Gorge Reservation & The Biltmore
This 23-acre park is ideal for mellowing out, especially under the historic Echo Bridge where you can enjoy the unique acoustics. Hemlock Gorge offers peaceful, leisurely riverside trails and cool places to sit alongside a mostly tranquil (but sometimes thunderous) Charles River. Keep your eyes peeled for magnificent Osprey that are occasionally sighted grabbing fish straight from the river! After your hike, head over to Biltmore Grill in Newton Highlands, located less than a mile from Hemlock Gorge. This cozy pub offers terrific comfort food, mouth-watering burgers, fried pickles, and a great assortment of craft cocktails and local brews.
Crystal Lake & Johnny’s Luncheonette
If you’re in the mood for a super cill day, have an edible or two, catch a ride and head over to the lovely Crystal Lake. This serene spot is all about relaxation, with peaceful walking paths and stunning water views. This 33-acre pond has a depth of nearly 31 feet, is filled by a natural spring, and offers a lovely swimming area. Crystal Lake also offers public restrooms and a small parking lot.
After a leisurely stroll around the lake, treat yourself to a classic diner experience at Johnny’s Luncheonette in Newton Centre. With its retro vibe and a menu full of comfort food favorites, including breakfast ALL DAY! Johnny’s Luncheonette is the perfect place to enjoy some pancakes, a milkshake, or a plate of delicious Mac & Cheese.
Webster Conservation Area & Frank Pepe Pizzeria
Located just down the road from Hemlock Gorge, Webster Conservation area is the perfect spot for a post-stimulating sativa walk. The varied trails and vibrant wildlife make this spot a feast for the senses. Located just behind the Chestnut Hill Mall, the gentle trails offer a wonderful view of Hammond Pond, an urban wildlife oasis home to many bird species, muskrat, and even beaver! Webster is the perfect place for spotting wildlife with your senses in cannabis overdrive, keep your eyes peeled as you stroll and you may just spot a Red Fox!
If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, the back-end of the reservation has a number of large boulders that can be clambered over & around. Some of them provide great views over the surrounding meandering hills.
Frank Pepe Pizzeria, located just across the road, has offered enormous, delicious, coal-fired pizza since 1925! Try the Doppio Pepperoni, Meatball & Ricotta, or, if you’re feeling adventurous, the White Clam pizza. You can also cool down with a delicious Foxon Park Soda. Try the White Birch Beer for an old-school soda pop flavor.
If this is the end of your adventure, cross back over to the Chestnut Hill mall where there are TONS of other retail and restaurant options to explore. Legal Sea Foods, Davio’s, Shake Shack & More! If you’re looking for entertainment check out the Showcase Cinemas Lux Theatre!
Newton is the perfect town to enjoy a day of relaxed hiking and great local eats!
