Property Description 245 acres | Established 1970
Shattuck Reservation comprises a forested upland neck of oak and pine overlooking a wet meadow and red maple swamp. Two trails lead from the neck across wetlands to two islands that offer views of the Charles River. Another trail leads from the neck to a lookout across the Charles River to Marshview Point, a ten-acre finger of upland nearly surrounded by floodplain. Shattuck Reservation's old stone walls indicate that it was once nineteenth-century pasture.
