Distance 1.5 Mile Loop
Difficulty: Easy
Located off Williams Street in Marlborough, Massachusetts is the trailhead for the Lake Williams Boardwalk. There are two small parking lots. One is in the courthouse parking lot, during the week I am not sure if you can park there. On a busy day parking can be difficult to find.
From the parking lot you can either follow the trail to the left to walk around Lake Williams through the woods or go right and start out on the boardwalk. We went right.
This boardwalk is special because it is a floating boardwalk. You walk about a half a mile across Lake Williams.
Once across the boardwalk you can turn around and walk back or continue on the trail around the lake, which is about a mile long. We walked the trail around the lake and found it easy to navigate.
There are also more bridges to walk across.
We enjoyed the 1.5 mile walk around the lake. The floating boardwalk was very cool. It is a little bouncy as it is like walking on a dock. If you have balance issues I may not walk on it. The trail through the woods was fairly flat, making it an easy hike.
Back at the parking lot there is a small park with a gazebo. The day we visited there was an ice cream truck that many walkers were enjoying.
