"The first reservation established by the Metropolitan Parks Commission (later the MDC) in 1893, Beaver Brook Reservation is 59 acres of open fields, wetlands and woodlands. Ponds, fields, marsh, and a cascading waterfall make the park's north section a delightful place to walk or picnic. The more developed south section features ballfields, a wading pool, and a tot lot. Beaver Brook's historic significance includes reminders of its past; the remains of a 19th century fulling mill, the historic Robert Morris Copeland House (c.1835) and a monument to the Waverly Oaks, perhaps the most famous trees of the 1890's." - “Beaver Brook Reservaton”, Massachusetts Government Department of Conservation and Recreation, Accessed online 03/30/10; http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/metroboston/beaver.htm

Goudy’s Point is the name of an area on Grand Lake Stream in Washington County, Maine. Grand Lake Stream connects West Grand Lake and Big Lake in the St. Croix River watershed. “Think of it. Three and a half miles of gravel-bottom runs punctuated by a 10-foot fall, a number of clattering rapids, occasional pools, and the rocky point where Curt Goudy of American Sportsman fame would fish [for landlocked salmon] all day.” – “Trout Unlimited's Guide to America's 100 Best Trout Streams” by John Ross, p. 9, 2005.
