To enjoy this site in the winter, bring your snowshoes (if you don’t have a pair, you can learn to make them in a special program at the sanctuary). Stroll along the edge of Indian Brook, which flows into the Charles River at the sanctuary. Look for beavers, otters, and wood ducks from the 110-foot-long bridge over Indian Brook.

Great For Those Who Love The Outdoors, Good For Everyone Else, Tue 4 Dec 2007
I've been to Broadmoor several times and find it very relaxing and peaceful. Whether its winter or summer, Broadmoor is a great place to enjoy the outdoors. They offer some classes and events, such as a camera tutorial i plan on attending next http://www.zync.com/Event.aspx?event_id=157506. Broadmoor is a great place to go to get away from all the busy things going on in life.
