Vaughn Hill (also known as Vaughan Hill or the Vaughn Hills) is a 637-foot (194 m) hill in northwestern Bolton, Massachusetts,[3] and the site of a 187-acre (76 ha) wooded conservation area containing hiking trails and wetlands near the border with Harvard, Massachusetts. It is one of the largest parcels of conservation land in the town.
The North Peak of the Vaughn Hills is one of the highest peaks between Boston and Mount Wachusett and the second highest in Bolton after Wattaquadock Hill.[4] The South Peak is located on private land. There are many hiking trails near pine forests, streams, and ponds with beaver dams. There are four entrances to the conservation area, and the Woodside Drive and Vaughn Hill Road entrances have parking.[5]
