43 - Strawberry Hill
On the east side of Stow Lake, there's a rather pretty waterfall,
Huntington Falls, flowing down the side of the hilly island in the
center of the lake. This island is Strawberry Hill, and the trails on
is are a delightful walk. The foliage on the island is lush and
pretty. And the climb to the top is rewarded by some of the best views
in the park. Strawberry Hill can be reached by either of two bridges
crossing the water.
The paths on the island will take you to the top of
Huntington Falls, and to the small adjacent reservoir that feeds the
falls. From the top of the falls, take the path along the right side
of the reservoir. About 50 feet past the reservoir, you'll find a
20-foot high tree on the left side of the path. This tree is
distinctive in that there are a bunch of foot-thick fallen trees at
its base.
Follow a faint path back to the right of and
eventually behind this tree. If you stay low and position yourself
wisely, you'll have at least a modicum of privacy. This isn't a large
spot, nor a secluded one. But you can have a little fun here all the
same as a part of your visit to Strawberry Hill.
