Amazing place for bike riding, dog walking, or exploring. Beautiful views.

The West River is a nice paddle, only a little ice on Harrington Pond.

Nice place for a quick walk if you are looking for fresh air. You'll definitely find it there... it's about 2 miles total if you park at the entrance and walk to the end. There's a nice bench and small area to rest. Remember to mind your step and to hit a bathroom beforehand.

Absolutely gorgeous easy hiking area. Lots of wildlife and fun little areas to explore.

A great place to walk and enjoy the views. In the fall, the colors are beautiful, but the summer can be buggy. Lots of people walk dogs here, and they provide poop bag and disposal stations at several locations. Water for your dogs too near their entrance.

Massachusetts has only 2% of grasslands remaining and the west hill dam area is one of them. It offers all kinds of trails and mountain bike. Dogs are welcome. Ample place for picnic and grill if you are in mood for a relaxed afternoon.

West hill river is 20 miles long and there is a 48 ft high west hill dam built in 1960.

I visited during first week of September 2021 and some parts of yellow / red trail that I took was closed due to recent flood 💦 - overall a nice experience. I wish I had my mosquito repellant so that I would have spent some more time sitting 🪑 calmly on the benches placed at the right locations.

This is a great place for walking and hiking the loop trails. I do the east and west woodland trails for about a 4 mile loop. The side trails like Lima and Oscar offer a nice diversion around the West river.

This has always been a great place to take the kids swimming. Now that the Town closed West Hill road, the beach entrance is closed. The main entrance is about a mile walk from the beach area now. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk, and the beach is now totally empty. If you feel like taking the family it's a very nice beach by the lake, but be prepared to walk.
