Lincoln Conservation Land

A lovely system of trails all maintained by local volunteers year round. If a tree falls on the trail, you can rest assured it is taken care of within days.
If you do bit of research (unlike some only capable of spewing typical directionally challenged hippster blogger nonsense), you will see that it take 10 separate maps to cover all the trails in the system. You have large variety of trails. Make your pick. You got fields, woods, marshes, etc.
I have lived in the area for a bit now and I am yet to walk every trail.

Lincoln Land Conservation Trust (LLCT) is located in Lincoln, MA only about 25 mins from downtown Boston. It is a couple of trails that go around the Sandy Pond water reservoir. There is a biking trail and several hiking/​walking trails. This location is where the great Henry David Thoreau went when he wanted a peaceful retreat from the busy Boston life.
The trails at LLCT are mostly well kept, but are also mostly poorly marked. The trails have changed from what most trail maps say due to changes in the watershed and the makeup of the land, and in a few spots we were unsure where to go. This isn’t a huge problem though since the area is not particularly large, so I would be unlikely that you would get lost. One thing to make sure to bring is bug spray. The area is mostly wetlands and in the humid summer months there tends to be a plentiful amount of mosquitos. We forgot ours and paid the price the whole hike.
