Lost Pond Reservation
About
Lost Pond Reservation is a 33-acre state park in Massachusetts, about 1.8 miles from Brookline. The land is managed by the state park agency, and the reservation itself is a compact parcel rather than a large, sprawling park. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring through early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Jamaica Plain weather station run from highs around 69°F in May to about 75°F in September, with July the warmest month at about 85°F. Climbers will find several walls close by, including Right Alcove Wall, Main Alcove Wall and Estate, The, all about 0.6 miles away. For a longer outing, the Sudbury Aqueduct Trail for mountain biking is about 3.3 miles off, and the Charles River Greenway is roughly 3.9 miles away.
