i know this was asked before, but what are the good swimming places in the area? i know there's the tufts pool, but what with it being gorgeous (finally) out, i'd like to go somewheres outdoors. also, does anyone know what the water quality in the upper mystic lake is like these days? thanks.

The Arlington site is right on the Minuteman, and though you're right that it's no great shakes, it can be a nice supplement to a shopping trip up to TJ's, particularly this time of year, before (I think) they've started charging for access.

I noticed the other day that the Eastern Mass bikemap lists a swimming hole called Springs Brook right by the Bedford end of the path. Does anyone know if that's worth seeking out?
