This can be a quick drive kind of spot or a great morning hike as trails to beaver ponds, glacial erratics, and picnic tables are all within a short distance of the forest roads. The fire tower was out of commission for years but has happily been restored, and interpretive signs at the top show each visible peak including, Mt. Tom and Mt. Monadnock among them, on clear enough days. The only facilities are a port-o-let at the bottom of Soapstone Road, so plan accordingly if you don't want to make the ten minute trip back down to Ellington.

Tips: Bring lunch if the weather is nice, there are picnic tables everywhere. DON'T MISS THE TOWER. It was repaired (major overhaul) recently and reopened to the public. Can't see it from the end of the access road, but it's an incredibly short walk from there. Go up toward and around the chain fence.

I used to go to camp at Holy Cross, which is on this Upper reservoir. I have camped and hiked all over this place, and its a great place to "forest surf", lose your self, meditate, get back to nature. The public resources are hit/miss, anyone who camps knows to pitch in to help out, instead of complain about your fellow man's inconsideration. Little hint, you can get to the Lower Highland Reservoir, there is even a boat drop in spot...just ask the ranger how to find it!!!!!

However, we found another store nearby and decided to check it out. They were having a sale and were offering discounts on last year's products. We spoke with a gentleman on the second floor who helped us find the right snowboard, bindings, and boots while staying within our budget. We were able to walk away with everything we needed at a reasonable price, and my daughter is very happy with her new gear!

When I returned the skis the store refused to refund any of our money, gave me an attitude, and blamed it on my beginner-skier son. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere.

I wish I could remember his name, but the kid at the bottom of the coaster (17 years old) was very interactive with my son. It helped the time pass as there were storms to the north which, when they hear thunder, shuts the coaster down for 30 minutes (this happened a few times). Also, the maintenance guy was great about explaining how the coasters work and stay on track when my son posed his unlimited questions. As for the coaster, definitely a good time, just a few "choppy" spots that give a good body check, and I felt like the camera mount was a bit high when riding with a little one (directly in his field of vision, but he didn't care). Can't wait to come back and hit the slopes with my little.

Good filthy family fun…read more BMX racing has becoming more and more popular during the last decade and it's even become an official Olympic event. You see bezillions of BMX bikes everywhere and kids riding, doing crazy tricks and of course racing them, usually in very unsafe places in very unsafe ways. That's because they just aren't many places for people to competitively ride the BMX bikes in safe and supervised conditions. Fortunately there is a USA sanctioned facility in West Greenwich that will allow kids and even adults to race, ride and practice until they blow their lungs out. The track is open for practice on Thursday nights until dark and for racing on Saturdays mornings. This is real racing with different classes and categories and with the winners receiving points toward state and national rankings, getting nice trophies and most importantly receiving the accolades of their family and friends. The track is well maintained, has medical equipment and even has an electronic starting gate just like in motocross. The facility has a huge parking lot and many families and friends come to tailgate and cheer on their champions. Almost a picnic type atmosphere. BMX is becoming increasing popular and tracks like this serve a need for speed. The bikes were made to race and this is the place. A great sport and facility for families to get filthy together.

From the owner: Woodland BMX racing facility in West Greenwitch, RI; sanctioned by USABMX.read more

Great converted Rail Trail in the Gardner/Winchendon area. It's a total of 11 miles long, meaning…read moreyou could get a 22 mile bike ride in. It's technically in 3 sections. The sections connect either by riding on dirt paths or the road. We parked right on Rt 140, as the trail crosses 140. We rode north to Rt 12, where we rewarded ourselves with an ice cream stop at Little Anthony's/Little Lizzie's. The trail continues on to the center of Winchendon, where there are 3 more parking lots. Since it is a rail trail, it is relatively flat. Not too many people on the trail, so we were able to spend the ride 2 abreast chatting. We passed a few walkers, other bikers, and even a skate boarder. There is ample shade on the trail which is super nice. Just wish I lived closer.
