There is still color in November under the oaks, maples and white pines of Wilson Mountain. The understory at the top has small pines, red oak leaves and the painted tree marking the summit. #StateParkSunday

Don't sleep on Ashburnham State Forest. It's more than a stop on the Mid State Trail or a path to Mt. Watatic. #StateParkSunday

Senator Joseph Finnegan Park is 14 acres of parkland at the mouth of the Neponset River. A former paper factory, it's now a restored ecological habitat you can bike through. #StateParkSunday
