An expansive retreat along Indian Brook and the Charles River, Broadmoor is an ever-changing environment teeming with wildlife: dragonflies darting, turtles basking, otters leaving tracks in the mud or snow, and more than 175 species of birds. Easy-to-moderate well-groomed trails lead you through the shade of mature woodlands into open fields and along the edges of streams, ponds, and marshland. Please leave dogs and other pets at home.
We've got 9 miles of trails to explore, including a universally accessible All Persons Trail. See trail map >

Broadmoor is evaluating and improving the nearly 8-mile trail system at the sanctuary for habitat and wildlife protection and the comfort and safety of visitors.
On the evening of August 16, Broadmoor experienced a brush fire that burned rapidly and grew to approximately 5.8 acres. Firefighters were called to the scene and were able to extinguish the flames within several hours, continuing to monitor the perimeter through the following morning to ensure it did not restart.
