There is a large grassy lawn, and a sizable sand beach. The swimming area is fairly small though, and a little cramped on weekends. Dogs are allowed in the parking area, but not near the beach, so it would be hard to bring a dog here. http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/dcr/massparks/region-central/lake-dennison-recreation-area.html
There is a small to medium sized swimming area with dark tannic water, and a sand beach. They have pretty picnic areas beneath towering trees, and three play-sets for children. Dogs are allowed in the park, but not on the beach. There are walking trails available around the lake, so it could be a fun […]
There is pretty covered bridge walkway, lots of picnic areas, and a small nature center. The swimming area is fairly small, but the area is scenic. There are two beaches, but it seems like you are only allowed to swim in the one that has a roped off section. A little down the road is […]
This is just a little boat access area, but people do swim here. Traveling on Boston Post Road, if the Souhegan high school is on your right then take the second road on the right, just before a little bridge. There is a small parking area with steep steps leading down to the water. The water […]

The surrounding forest has a verdant understory of ferns, there are some pretty flowering bushes as well. Dogs are allowed on a […]
The park has a swimming area on Otter Lake, which our GPS says is also called Picnickers Beach. The facilities seem a little bit worn, but the park is peaceful and pretty. The swimming area is medium sized with a small sand beach, and it seems like they have a lifeguard sometimes. There is also […]
The trail to the falls is slightly south of where Issac Fry Highway meets Putnam Road, and there is some parking near a chain attached to two trees. The trail is wide, and it only takes about two minutes to get to the upper falls. This is the smaller of the two falls, and if […]
This is a small brook where someone built a rock dam, and there is a big pool above and below, which is moderately deep. There is a small sand beach with large boulders to sunbathe, and the water is tannic but clear. It has a very secluded feel and I’m sure you wouldn’t get bothered all […]
There are parking lots on Bennet Road and on Packers Falls Road, and we parked on Bennet and followed a short trail down to the water. There is a sign for Packer’s Falls, and you are allowed to swim here at your own risk. The trail came out to the edge of a small pool, […]
