ou’d never know that behind the bustling main streets and densely populated neighborhoods of the western suburbs, there’s a whole other world: miles of tranquil, wooded paths where aqueducts once ran. Here you can take a walk through the wilds, and explore the abandoned 19th-century Sudbury and Cochituate water routes. Relics of the past appear along the way.
