The Canton-facing portion of the roughly 7,000-acre state reservation shared with several towns, reached via Ponkapoag Trail parking off Route 138 and the Fisherman's Beach access on Randolph Street; the Canton side centers on Ponkapoag Pond, its bog boardwalk, and connecting trail network rather than the Great Blue Hill summit area (which is largely in Milton).
