There are some magnificent things hiding in plain sight that we may not have taken much, if any, notice of. Maybe it’s a place you’ve heard about but not sought out or one you pass by daily that you haven’t really stopped and marveled at. At Beaver Brook Reservation, there is one gorgeous waterfall hiding in plain sight in Massachusetts. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should make plans to seek it out.

Straddling the Belmont/Waltham line is Beaver Brook Reservation, a 59-acre park featuring fields, woodlands, nature trails, athletic fields, a spray deck, wading pools, picnic areas, and more.
