The dirt path followed the contours of the North Dike, mostly staying close to the water, once making an excursion into the woods to skirt a hill before returning to the shore.

Met a pair of touring cyclists who had started in Monterey, MA, on Friday, spent the night near the Quabbin, and were headed for Boston. We talked a bit about conditions on the Reservoir trail, and they concluded they wanted to go for it with their 28mm tires. Hoped that worked for them.
Before leaving the North Dike parking area, I had a chance to observe one of the lesser-known natural wonders:
