This park is great for hiking, beach, barbecue, picnic, kayaking, biking, and great lake views at the same time!
One of the best hikes I have ever did. There is a NULL parking fee for MA plates. The hiking trail is called “Ashland Reservoir Trail” which is phenomenal!

Amazing place to walk around, hike and enjoy the nature without too many other people. Went during the fall and you could see the leaves changing color although it was on the tail end. They’re doing some construction on the bridge at one of the reservoir so it’s not possible to make a full loop. Some of the trails are not well travelled so they can be a little hard to find as they are mostly unmarked.

Great place to handout and do a picnic and a cookout! Parking is 8$ and you can also park outside on the community parking lot and just walk in! Get here early to make sure you get a shadow spot in the summer! Awesome place and will be back soon

It is the best place to relax. The water in late june is warm, it is a delicious one.
There are picnic areas. You can grab your food and share it with your friends there.
I am @mayrawellnesscoach, a health coach, and I can tell you that relaxation should be part of your life.

The beach was closed during our visit. Dogs aren’t allowed on the beach. We parked outside the park & only explored a little inside since we were short on time. There were several grilling areas & the water was very clear with lots of visible fishes. It seems like a nice spot for a trail walk.
