The lake bottom in the swim area is covered with beer cans, tons of broken glass and all kinds of assorted trash. Really gross. Do not go in the water without shoes. The beach is just a narrow strip along the road with a boat ramp. The area is very noisy with traffic and trucks idling. On the positive side, it seems to be open to non residents year round.

It's just a very serene and pretty place to spend a few hours. Loved the walkable covered bridge!read more

A great little place for hikes&leisurely walks. Lake Potanipo is an understated place. Its waters eventually lead to the Gulf of Maine. Not bad for a little quiet country lake.

I'm from out of town and while my son was at a hockey camp I was looking to get some sun and relaxation. For the size of the park and beach $20 is way to much for this spot.

This review is for the Chauncy Lake trail which runs alongside Chauncey Lake in Westborough, MA…read more Note that the trail does not go all the way around the lake to where the beach is. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful, easy hike in the fall! In order to get to the trail if you're going south on Lyman, you'll turn off on Hospital Road and go towards the lake. There is a paved parking lot. Note that there are no bathrooms or water fountains at the trail. There may be some at the beach area but we didn't make it there because the trail ended and we turned around. As a Floridian, I really enjoyed the lakeside hike to see some gorgeous fall colors!

Cons are that, no floaties are allowed, only coast guard approved PFDs are allowed, no skipping stones, no horseplay, etc. there also porta-potties in season. Did I say picture perfect? Idyllic. This is the best New England has to offer. Yes it is residents only but you can bring guests.

My mom and I stopped by Walden Pond when we spent a day in Concord a week or so ago, and it was a…read moretreat to experience it on my first visit to Concord. Walden Pond is a pond, not very different from ponds all over the country. What makes it special is its association with Henry David Thoreau. He lived in a cabin on the shore of the pond for two years, and the pond and his experience living there inspired one of his most famous works, "Walden; or, Life in the Woods." The park has a lot to offer. There are trails, including the Pond Path, which circles the pond. There are beach areas. There is a visitor center, where you can watch a short documentary about Walden Pond. There's a gift shop/bookstore, where you can buy a copy of Walden to read while looking at Walden. There's also the replica of Thoreau's cabin (you can also visit the site of the original cabin). My mom and I visited the Visitor Center, watched the documentary, and enjoyed a picnic lunch on the main beach. We saw tons of people hiking, swimming, boating, kayaking, and more. Walden Pond is a special place - a must visit if you're also visiting Concord for the first time.

While it's great to swim in the water, i notice people are barbequing, grilling, smoking, vaping an playing loud music on the speakers. Even though there are notice boards saying not to. It would be good if DCR stations a few more staff members in the trails and beaches, to enforce the pond rules. The smell and sound was unbearable. It felt like a Las Vegas beach club. Pond was beautiful and quiet, but the crowd environment was not People were also not cleaning up after and leaving piles of food The geese would eat that and get more aggressive
