Lake Potanipo (sometimes called Potanipo Pond) is a highlight of the small town of Brookline. The…read morebeach has been cleaned up considerably, and it's open (albeit in a limited way) to the general public. It has a small, charming lighthouse along with a public beach. It's picturesque. 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.

Was in town on business with a few hours to spare and found this park on my GPS. I saw it was…read moremoderately-sized and near a body of water, usually good things for city green space. The parking lot was small, but there was a fairly new playground and play area for kids, places to sit for parents, and a big open field for open recreation. Lack of shade structures and restrooms around the playground was a surprise and I'm not sure there was even a water fountain, but I didn't look for one either. Heading off into the woods, I found quite a few well-marked trails meandering around the hillside and down to the lakefront. On the water was one tree with steps nailed into the trunk and a rope swing attached. I'm not sure if it's even safe to swing into the water at that point, but on a hot summer day, I'd be hard pressed not to. There are houses around the lake with boat docks, so I'm sure the water's safe to swim in. Overall a pretty decent park with play areas and shaded hiking paths, even a few good fishing perches on the lakefront. I'd go again to kill an hour or so.

Life jackets are provided of course and we have to sign waivers. The river route is so long and scenic and will definitely take hours. The staff are really helpful as well. My only complaint is that they only have fixed full day rental rate. I wish they also have half day rate for people who only wanna spend a short time. - 7.5/10
