*** About Quabbin Reservoir: Quabbin Reservoir is not only a stunning visual spectacle but also a vital resource, serving as the primary water supply for Boston, Massachusetts, and its metropolitan regions. Originally constructed in the 1930s, the reservoir was formed by the flooding of four towns, an event that significantly altered the landscape and displaced many families. Today, it spans 39 square miles and holds an impressive 412 billion gallons of water, making it one of the largest unfiltered water supplies in the United States. Beyond its functional role, the area around Quabbin is a protected space, fostering a diverse ecosystem that includes various wildlife species, making it a significant area for conservation as well as public recreation.
