Hiking
Wenham Lake is a beautiful 224-acre lake situated along both towns of Wenham and Beverly. It sources its water from the natural water table, streams, the Putnamville Reservoir, and the Ipswich River. Once a key supplier of ice to Britain in the 19th century, it now serves as a reservoir for the Salem and Beverly Water Supply Board. There is no access to the water; however, this gem is a great spot to stop and soak in the peaceful views during your hike.
