"I live less than a mile away and it's beautiful. I love walking there!"
"Another gorgeous spot to go hiking. There are a bunch of trails of trails... there are spots with grills to cook on,and pinic at. Dogs are allowed only on leash or will be fined. also porter potties to use as well."
"This place has quite a bit nostalgia attached to it for me! Grew up hiking the Nipmuck Trail and swimming in Bicentennial Pond. It is peaceful, quiet and a chill spot to relax."
"Peaceful place! Many lovely views, both paved as well as rustic trails. We come here often and never tire of the beauty here. You have to try the dam trail at least once during late afternoon close to sunset the view is spectacular! Parking lot for that trail is just off of rte 6, east of the airport."
"Great park. Many miles of hiking trails and wonderful paddling opportunities. Always very clean. One down side is you can't swim in the lake. The power lines that run through the park are a little bit of a bummer but don't take away from it much. Great wildlife from a kayak! I saw a beaver, deer, and several great blue herons."
