This path is well-maintained and easy to navigate, surrounded by the most beautiful pine and hemlock trees. If you enjoy running on flat and wide-open spaces instead of challenging rocky terrain, this trail is perfect for you.

Boyce Hill is located within the stunning Blue Hills Reservation and stands at an elevation of 115 meters. While it may not be as tall as the neighboring Buck Hill peak, nor does it offer the same awe-inspiring views, it still provides some lovely vistas and is a fantastic addition to a pleasant run through this beautiful forest.

St. Moritz is a beautiful man-made pond located on the eastern edge of Blue Hills Reservation. The pond was once a popular spot for competitive ice skaters, and hosted the annual St. Moritz Winter Carnival between 1929 and 1942, until the pond no longer froze over for such lengths of time.
