A forest inside the city

Lynn Woods covers about 2,200 acres, one of the largest city-owned forests in the country, protected since 1881. More than 30 miles of trails wind past ponds, rock ledges, Stone Tower and Dungeon Rock.

Add the beaches along Lynn Shore Drive and the new 30-acre Lynn Harbor Park, and the outdoors is never more than a few minutes from work.

Living history

Walk in Frederick Douglass's footsteps

Frederick Douglass lived in Lynn from 1841 to 1848, and wrote his landmark autobiography, the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, here in 1845.

Today, Frederick Douglass Park, a plaque on Lynn Common and the murals downtown honor his years in Lynn, alongside the shoemakers, inventors and immigrants who built the City of Firsts.
