Lake Wyola State Park

Lake Wyola State Park is a recreation area along Lake Wyola's shoreline featuring woodland trails and a swimming beach. The property spans approximately 40 acres and supports a range of outdoor pursuits including fishing and boating.

The state acquired this land in 1997 and opened it as a public recreation area for the surrounding community. The expansion of public access transformed what was previously private property into shared outdoor space.

The park bears the name Carroll A. Holmes Recreation Area, honoring a former Shutesbury selectman who served as director within the Department of Environmental Management.

The main entrance provides access to swimming, fishing, and boating with a public boat launch available. Plan your visit considering seasonal conditions, as facilities and trail usage vary throughout the year.

During winter months, designated trails support cross-country skiing and snowmobiling activities. This year-round adaptability makes the park useful for different outdoor pursuits depending on the season.
