The reservoir is a common place to run, with many people walking, running, taking their dogs on a walk, or just generally enjoying the outdoors. There are plenty of nice neighborhoods nearby, and a well marked bike lane in the road, so it’s a great place to spend a few hours exploring Boston College and Chestnut Hill. The reservoir itself is a little boring, because it’s a man-made lake, but it’s still fun to walk around. If you’re in the area and looking for a good place to work out or just get a nice walk in, this is one of the spots you should check out. Make sure you visit the waterworks museum next door, and explore the Boston College campus!
