Federated Women's Club State Forest, State forest in Petersham, Massachusetts, United States
The Federated Women's Club State Forest encompasses 984 acres of pine, maple, birch, and hemlock trees within the watershed of the Quabbin Reservoir.
The forest contains cellar holes from former settlements that were relocated during the creation of the Quabbin Reservoir in the 1930s.
The establishment of a 140-acre wildlife sanctuary within the forest demonstrates the commitment to preserving native species and their habitats.
Visitors can access primitive camping sites on a first-come basis, with check-in required at Erving State Forest located 15 miles from the entrance.
A dam on Fever Brook forms a water body that functions as a gathering point for both local and migrating bird populations.
