The 10 Best Things to do in Lynn, Massachusetts (MA)

January 7, 2022 Nicolette Lion

Lynn is the 9th largest municipality in Massachusetts and the largest city in Essex County. Situated on the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 10 miles (16 km) north of downtown Boston, Lynn is part of Greater Boston's urban inner core. An early colonial settlement and industrial center, Lynn was long colloquially referred to as the "City of Sin," owing to its historical reputation for crime and vice. Today, however, the city is known for its contemporary public art, large international population, historic architecture, downtown cultural district, loft-style apartments, and public parks and open spaces, which include the oceanfront Lynn Shore Reservation; the 2,200-acre, Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Lynn Woods Reservation; and the High Rock Tower Reservation. The city also is home to the southernmost portion of the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway, Lynn Heritage State Park, and the National Register-listed Diamond Historic District.

Lynn Woods

Reviewed By OutdoorTraveler02155 - Boston, United States

We went for a 7:30 trail run and had a fabulous time exploring both the wide and smooth dirt fire roads and the rockier, more narrow hiking trails. The views and scenery were wonderful. People were few and far between and friendly. We frequent the Middlesex Fells and this was different enough to delight us that we found another great trail system nearby.

Really the "best local venue" to hear and see ",top notch entertainment at an affordable price. Combined w great local restaurants (Blue Ox, Rosettis,Green Tea) it's half the price of Boston without parking headaches.

Lynn Shore

Precious beach walk

Reviewed By Louetta - Georgetown, United States

We mostly come here to run. On the sand if the tide's out on the hard sand. Otherwise on the nice wide concrete path. Nice view of the ocean and interesting to see what they've built and rehabbed on the inland side. Guess it's close enough to Boston to attract yuppies from Boston. Anyway, it's nice.
