    What a pleasant, safe, clean, lovely park. We stayed on the main trails, so we thought. It was kind of fun getting a bit lost.

    Hiking is great with lots of elevation changes and boulder formations.

    very nice neighborhood playground, especially after renovation! (there were so many kids in it now…read moreit was difficult to take pictures without looking creepy LOL) new structures promote climbing and safe spins; swing set streamlined and added with a large full-back seat and pull-down lock-in harness. many of above state "for age 5 and up", but plenty of younger folks seem to enjoy them equally. i personally supervise my own very closely to ensure safety for all. most caretakers i have seen on this ground seem to be doing the same. small "tree house" library is added on new ground as well. hope we can all take part in keeping it nice and filled. only issue so far is the bathroom. while i'm glad the facility was available when i needed to use it, the condition inside was abysmal. it stank, toilet paper thrown everywhere, hand soap dispenser missing with the refilling bag lying around helplessly. was shocked to find the stark contrast of the state of the bathroom with the new stuff right outside. later learned it was likely a result of repeated vandalism and irresponsible use during off hours. sad that the town may have to decide to lock it up to prevent future happenings.

Peppered between are beautiful, peaceful houses. Come on a Saturday afternoon and you'll see a team of sailboats out. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings are nothing short of delightful at Lake Massapoag. We caught 8 fish in one morning of fishing on the north side (bass and sunfish) and only one during an evening of fishing on the south side. Whatever the case, it's a beautiful place to spend some time.

The size-able parking area and bandstand serve as a great location for Independence Day festivities for the community with an old time carnival atmosphere which continues for hours leading up to the fireworks. In past times there was a railroad not far that brought Boston's movers and shakers to the lake for summer recreation. Some of the buildings from that time remain, at least partially, such as the present day senior center. Lake Massapoag is the headwater of Canoe River as well as Massapoag Brook. The Canoe River leads to Taunton River and eventually to Narragansett Bay. Massapoag Brook flows to the Neponset River which empties into Dorchester Bay. One of the more interesting wildlife facts about Lake Massapoag is that there is a species of eel which migrates up the Atlantic coast and all the way to Lake Massapoag, moving overland nocturnally during rainy nights.
