There are lots of picnic tables and looks like swimming in a Great Lake with s sandy beach. Trails are clean and shady. I wish there was a map that showed distances: I was unsure how long it would take for me to hike around it, so I did not take the trail. Clean bathrooms, but only open until 3 pm at the moment.

Park crew was working when I was there: they seem to keep things well mowed and picked up. Saw several dog walkers, but all on leash. There are some woods and a power line corridor, loaded with tradh. Cute little stone bridges cross a drainage ditch. Very little shade in main parking lot. Splash park is what it is and was not in use when I visited.

This is not a place to go deep in the woods and the trails are pretty short but it's nice and clean and well maintained, good place for a walk and maybe a picnic.

The…read moretrails around here are well worn in, making outdoor activities such as hiking, jogging and rock climbing easy to approach and appreciate both above and below the tree line. The rock faces around here are great to scale, and the lakes around here are more than kayak-friendly. Don't miss out on this outstanding slice of nature!

Where to begin. Let's start with the campsites. Campsites are nice, clean ,and large. Each site has…read moreits own fire pit and charcoal grill. They do have bathrooms and water spickets. Now the bad. If you want to stay up till 3am listening to cultural music blasting and people partying and yelling, then this is the place for you. When I go camping I go to relax and get away from the every day Hussle. Didn't get an ounce of sleep all weekend due to the after hours noise. They have a posted quiet time and that is after 10pm. When brought up to the DCR they said it's useless to enforce this. Looks like I will not be camping at Willard Brook State Park again.

So I figured no notice is on the website, it must be open. Nope. There was a big red flag that said no swimming. This is something they should have noted on alerts. Instead the only notice was about trying to get little kids vaccinated. If you just want to hike you'll be fine, but the once fast moving brook has really shrunk up into a stagnant fraction of its former self. It reminds me of the negative transformation of the beach at Pearl Hill State Park over the past several decades. It's sad.

Outdoor lighting is inadequate and I was stumbling and lucky I didn't twist my ankle in one the holes when I left after dark. The interior is nondescript with fake wood panelling and some Finnish paintings and wall hangings. If you need a venue in the area and other places aren't available you could use it in a pinch.

Mount Wachusett is so much fun every season of the year! This time I was there in July and hiked…read morePine tree Trail. It is the shortest trail however it is very steep and even though I'm from Massachusetts and I used to climb this mountain every year growing up, this was a challenge for me. I live in Florida and it's flat I had my map, a bottle of water, a protein bar, my phone and my windstorm whistle (the world's loudest). I felt pretty safe. With a lot of huffing and puffing and some encouragement by a few hikers along the way, I made it to the top. Just as I exited the trail, a park ranger stopped me and notified me that the summit was closed due to blasting! He said that by the time I go back down, I might be able to get to the summit. It was rather a disappointment, but I just laughed about it. Quirky things like this had happened my whole trip up to Massachusetts. On the way down, I found a walking stick that someone had made out of a branch and it really helped me because the rocks were huge and it was hard for me to maneuver. I then decided that I was going to take my shoes off and go, barefoot like I did as a child and it helped tremendously as my feet had better grip than with the shoes on. Once I hit the crossroads between trails and it was dirt, I had to put my shoes back on. I met a woman near the end of the trail and she hikes the pine tree trail all the time just for exercise. We talked until we hit the parking lot of the visitor station. Christine sells upcycled winter fashion. You can see her work at salvagesistas.com I also met a man at the summit with his three children, and I was highly impressed that he had his children out in the fresh air learning about Mount Wachusett, and all the great places they could see from the tower.

My bestie drove us and we paid $5 admission; I don't recall having to do that last time, but I'm happy to support the park. Drove up part way and parked at an overlook then walked to the top in the after heat. Beautiful vista of Nashoba Valley and Worcester county. You can see Mount Monadnock well but not Boston so much but as New England weather changes so do the vistas. Peaceful calm and very much worth the trip. Great memories of epic hikes. I love coming here because this place will always be home to me. Mount Wachusett, come check it!! =D

Hundreds of dogs together, every different breed and size....playing and having fun! Tails wagging, tongues hanging out....squeaky balls being tossed....and not a single dog fight or hardly even any barking! Amazing.

Water fountain at front, and water spigot with removable bowls inside each area. Rock features for doggie fun. Great time.
