The 3.6-mile loop around Lake Quannapowitt is a perfect spot to train for a 5k race or to meet up with friends and family for walks, picnics, and outdoor recreation during the summer months. Community festivals take place near the Bandstand on Church Street, and the Wakefield Farmers Market on North Avenue is worth a visit. Lake Quannapowitt is a short distance from the town center, so wander over to have lunch at a local restaurant and grab ice cream before catching your train back home.
